About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.

Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Summer shoots near Icklesham have light until about 9:15pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.

A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
