In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

About 66 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of Saint Kenelm?

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
