Common questions in Barton
Could you cook in Bury Knowle Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Barton close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September events in Barton lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Name a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
