Looking after everyone
Some staff won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen information with the team
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Sign-off for outside caterers
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
