Common questions in Blue Town
How far is Blue Town from London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Could you cook in Barton's Point Coastal Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
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 bring everything else.
Do you have documents for locations?
Send us your requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
