- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Post allergen details at base
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Ask about china, quoted separately.

Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. In December, daylight in Eton Wick ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
