The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At midsummer, it’s light in South Hinksey 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.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
