About the food
Roast turkey
Roast turkey gives a Christmas party a traditional touch, with the pork and crackling too.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A short route for our equipment
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
