The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. In December, daylight in Hamstead Marshall ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
