Brighton Hill questions
Could you cook in Eastrop Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at The Church Of Christ The King?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

What if it rains?

Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
