How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your staff will smell it long before they see it. Open days in Blackness normally finish in daylight, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.

- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Put the allergen list where people can see it

We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
