Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you serve at our lunch call?

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Tell us who does not eat pork
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Sides make a proper lunch.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Because the roast starts early, and in December Alderholt is dark by about 4:05pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
