Common questions in Biddenden

That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we’ll talk it through.
The process
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, worked back from your serving time. In late May, sunset in Biddenden is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
