Common questions in Strood Green
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Deepdene Terrace?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What about locations off the beaten track?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your crew, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, daylight in Strood Green ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
