For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Summer evenings in Titchfield Park stay light until about 9:20pm, so people can spill into the garden.
