Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-September shoots near Limpsfield lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
