Questions from Jenkins' Green
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you do something else?
We can add alternatives.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Frequently, yes. Get in touch when the date is set and we will answer right away.
Can you cater at home?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, given an outdoor cooking area.

- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.
