What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. For an evening party in Wickham, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:

- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

- Request gluten-free rolls
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
