- A safe distance from kit
- A covered eating area
- A contact in production
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
