What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Access through the site gates
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
