The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. A summer party in Worth Abbey stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Full catering or machine hire?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
What the cooking area needs

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed

- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
