For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.

What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. A summer party in Ashendon stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.

Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Common questions in Ashendon
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Ashendon?
Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 3.9 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you cover Ashendon?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
