Common questions in Nuffield
Do you come out to small places like Nuffield?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Nuffield from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
What do you need from us on the day?

Who serves?

For event organisers in Nuffield
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In winter, it’s dark in Nuffield by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
