About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. For a staff lunch in Staple, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or CT3 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
