Common questions in Tinkers Cross
Do you come out to small places like Tinkers Cross?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you cover Tinkers Cross?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
What about locations off the beaten track?
We can, given access details. Let us know about the route.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
