How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In December, daylight in Bickley ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day

Bickley questions
Could you cook in Jubilee Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Bickley has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Looking after everyone
Some crew will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We pack away straight after service.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
