Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Away from emergency routes
