Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.

Badgers Mount questions
How far is Badgers Mount from London?
About 15 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Badgers Mount?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
