Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for staff who do not eat pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Questions from Headington
Could you cook in Bury Knowle Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Headington?
Oxford station, about 2.6 miles west of the centre.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How do we book for a business?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we will explain the booking terms.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you set up in our car park?
Wherever your facilities team agrees, outdoors and under cover.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Open days in Headington generally finish in daylight, though in winter it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
