What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Post allergen details at base
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
We clear our spot after lunch.
Ask about china.
The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your crew, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. On a winter shoot near Lower Common, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
