Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
As a London location, Monks Orchard is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
