St Mary Cray: your questions answered
Could you cook in Jubilee Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in St Mary Cray?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What does the production need from you?
Requirements vary by production.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
That’s exactly how we work, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, daylight in St Mary Cray ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Sign-off from the location
- Shelter for crew
- A level area at base
As a London location, St Mary Cray is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
