Questions from St Paul's Cray
What if our house in St Paul's Cray has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to St Paul's Cray?
St Paul's Cray has its own station: St Mary Cray station.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
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 confirm the space with your quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September shoots near St Paul's Cray lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- 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
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time
Getting a price
