Broyle Side: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Broyle Side?
Glynde station, about 2.9 miles south of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Sunset in Broyle Side is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.

Preparing for the day
