St Mary in the Marsh: your questions answered
Could you cook in Romney Warren Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is St Mary in the Marsh from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Can you cater in St Mary in the Marsh?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
How it works
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you. Evening barbecues in St Mary in the Marsh need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
