Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.

Planning for dietary needs

- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Post allergen details at base
A cooked roast can wait; just let us know.

How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In December, daylight in Westmarsh ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
