Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
For event organisers in Lower Denford

Lower Denford questions
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Lower Denford from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Is our garden suitable?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. A photo helps.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service.
