Lower Twydall is one of 68 towns and villages in Medway we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Lower Twydall to Canterbury (22 miles away).

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
