Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.

Do you work to set times?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll be ready.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you do gluten-free?

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, daylight in Boyn Hill ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
