Full catering or machine hire?

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. A summer party in Chobham stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
