Common questions in Little Kimble
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Do you need anything from the family?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We’ll handle the rest.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
