How far is Harefield from London?

How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. On a winter shoot near Harefield, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.

- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
