Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Halal is not offered
- Request thin slices
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- A named contact on the day
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
