The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. In December, daylight in Hillstreet ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- 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 clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

For event organisers in Hillstreet
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count crew needing an alternative
We pack away straight after service.
