About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- One contact for the day
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Vehicle access to base
As a London location, Croydon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Spit-roast lamb

Allergies and dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Post allergen details at base
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We work to the location’s rules.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
