Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Sunset in Hammerpot in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
