Questions from Queen's Park
Could you cook in Queen’s Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Queen's Park has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can visitors buy their own food?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll discuss the options.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
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.
