Questions from Cuxton
Is Cuxton close to London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Cuxton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will make it work.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.

Organising for someone else?
