Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.

Do you trade at school events?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the details.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.

It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we will discuss the options.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
