The Village: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like The Village?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Windsor Great Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we will plan the journey.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for crew who do not eat pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
