In Three Chimneys, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Questions from Three Chimneys
Which station is closest to Three Chimneys?
The closest is Headcorn station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Three Chimneys?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What if things run late?

Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.

- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
