Before booking anyone
- Plates, china and cutlery
- The space, cover and access they need
- Allergen information for every dish
- Any travel or access charges
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count who does not eat pork
- Label alternatives clearly
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A lit route to the food
- Vehicle access close by
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
As a London location, Sanderstead is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A lunchtime Christmas party in Sanderstead is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
