For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
If it is a themed open day, tell us.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. For a staff lunch in Ventnor, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
