- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.

What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In winter, it’s dark in De Beauvoir Town by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.

Questions from De Beauvoir Town
Could you cook in Shoreditch Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
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’ll gather.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What do we need to organise?
Not much: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
