What else we do in Paddington
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Space for people to queue
- A level pitch
- Any paperwork the organisers need
As a London location, Paddington 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Summer events in Paddington have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
