Catered or do it yourself?

Do you come out to small places like Broyle Side?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.

Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.

Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Let us know what you need.

Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
