A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A lit route to the food
- A short route for our equipment
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Roast turkey
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Roast potatoes
