Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

- Permission from the hall or venue
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
As a London location, South Kenton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In late September, sunset in South Kenton is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- We set up and roast while you are at the service.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
