FAQs for Enham Alamein
Which station is closest to Enham Alamein?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Is Enham Alamein close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
What should we provide?
Very little: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In late September, sunset in Enham Alamein is about 7:10pm; in December, about 4:00pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
