How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At midsummer, it is light in New Copse until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A word with the neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
