What else we do in Glyndebourne
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Glyndebourne questions
How far is Glyndebourne from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What paperwork do you provide?
Organisers often ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we’ll respond.
