The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Because the roast starts early, and in December Bethnal Green is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
