Questions from Barton
Could you cook in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you roast near the sea around Barton?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Generally, if there’s a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What about a wrap party?
We do.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal is not available.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. On a winter shoot near Barton, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
