What comes off the roaster

Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Before you book anyone
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- Whether travel is included
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. By late September, the light in Wolverton goes at about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
