Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At the end of a shoot, it is a relaxed way to finish. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
