Common questions in Rush Green
What’s the nearest station to Rush Green?
Romford station, about 0.7 miles north-east of the centre.
What if our house in Rush Green has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What if people arrive late?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.

Planning help
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:
- Space away from the building and any trees
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- One contact on the day
As a London location, Rush Green 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 you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
One contact for the day helps, so the family can focus on guests.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
