For event organisers in Whitchurch
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
Food is served as everyone gathers, quietly and respectfully.
If there was a favourite dish from our menu, tell us.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In late September, sunset in Whitchurch is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- We set up and roast while you are at the service.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
