How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a staff lunch in Watlington, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

Looking after everyone

- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
