Ashford: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Ashford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Sandleheath Village Hall: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
