Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. The main factors are:
- Travel to Bethnal Green

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Autumn and winter afternoons in Bethnal Green get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
