Questions from Bough Beech
Is Bough Beech close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Chiddingstone Castle Park and Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What about a wrap party?
We do. Send us the details.
Do you need much space at base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- Vehicle access to base
