Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In December, daylight in Crockham Hill ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
