Sarre is about 58 miles from central London. Among the historic houses close to Sarre are Quex Park (4.1 miles north-east). If you are shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property. With the sea within about 6 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base.
Wherever your shoot is in CT7, we can roast on site for your crew. Local streets include Island Road, Old Road and Chantry Park; a shoot on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Post allergen details at base
- Request gluten-free rolls
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, daylight in Sarre lasts until about 9:15pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
