What to tell us
These are the details we need:

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
- Light by the serving table
- Indoor space for eating
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
