The closest is Brighton station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
How far is Whitehawk from London?
About 47 miles from central London.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

The earlier the better. Weekdays frequently have more availability.

We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
How far ahead should we book?

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:

- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Planners, venues and businesses

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

The coast is within about 2 miles of Whitehawk, and winter sea winds can be bitter.

We also serve nearby towns such as Brighton and Hove (4 miles west), Hove (3 miles west), Aldrington (4 miles west), Withdean (3 miles north-west), Hangleton (5 miles north-west) and Patcham (3 miles north-west).
