About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In December, daylight in Linwood ends around 4:05pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time

How to get a price
