What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Post allergen details at base
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Ask about china.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your shoot. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Hulcote is dark by about 3:50pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
