The menu, dish by dish

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Autumn and winter afternoons in Heathfield get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
