Plaistow questions
Could you cook in Downham Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Plaistow?
The closest is Sundridge Park station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Halal is not offered
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. On a winter shoot near Plaistow, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
