Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Portsmouth Point close to London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Usually, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. We will agree it with your location manager.

We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
