The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Sunset in Knaphill is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Gather dietary requirements early

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Will there be enough to go round?
