Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Access through the site gates
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
