What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Where the roaster can go in Murrell Green
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Vehicle access to base
- Approval from locations
- A level spot at base for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Halloumi skewers (V)
