About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Common questions in Bletchingley
How far is Bletchingley from London?

Could you cook in Kitchen Copse?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.

Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
