About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Label alternatives clearly
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A short route for our equipment
- Indoor space for eating
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
For somewhere as remote as Hillway, early notice helps us plan the trip.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In December, it’s dark in Hillway by 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.
