How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. By late September, sunset in Poffley End is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.

- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
