Why book with us

- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. In December, daylight in Redbridge ends around 4:00pm, 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.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
