Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your staff event. For a staff lunch in Mickleham, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- A named contact for the day
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Common questions in Mickleham
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Mickleham?
The closest is Box Hill & Westhumble station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Where on site can you cook?
Wherever your facilities team agrees, as long as it’s outdoors.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls keep service quick.
