Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

How far ahead should we book?

We do. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Summer events in East Worldham have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
