For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A contact on site
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
