The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
