Within reach of Martyr's Green are historic houses such as Byfleet Manor (2.2 miles north-west) and Hatchlands Park (3.5 miles south-west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Sunset in Martyr's Green is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

- We carve and serve at food time.

Preparing for the day
