How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In late September, sunset in Ufton Nervet is about 7:10pm; in December, about 4:00pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
