- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We work to the location’s rules.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. On a winter shoot near Glynde, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your crew
