FAQs for Sandford
Do you come out to small places like Sandford?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast near the sea around Sandford?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Each site is different: pass on your list and we’ll respond.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
