Questions from West Langdon
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is West Langdon close to London?
About 65 miles from central London.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Organisers often ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we will respond.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Halal is not offered
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Space for people to queue
- A level pitch
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
