FAQs for Great Stonar
Could you cook in Prince's Beachlands?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you roast near the sea around Great Stonar?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you cater our wrap?
Of course. Tell us the date and location.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Halal is not offered
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Share the allergen list with the crew
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
