FAQs for North Wembley
Could you cook in Preston Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if people arrive late?
Give us a contact for the day and we will adjust.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What do we need to organise?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We will handle the rest.
Is there an alternative to pork?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. We do not offer halal meat.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- Space away from the building and any trees
- Parking close by for our vehicle
As a London location, North Wembley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
