For event organisers in Broadstone
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
