Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A lit route to the food
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
Surrey Quays is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
