How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Parkhurst are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Think about shelter for your visitors

Parkhurst: your questions answered

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.

What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
