Stoke: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Stoke?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Stoke from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production; share your list and we will respond.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In December, daylight in Stoke ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- 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 serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
