Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
