Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Space away from the building and any trees
- A short route for the equipment
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
Brompton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We dress smartly and keep a low profile.
Let us know if there is something the person especially liked.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In winter, it is dark in Brompton by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Brompton: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Simon Zelotes: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Burton’s Court?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What affects the price in Brompton
The biggest factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
