Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- Approval from locations
- A named contact at base
Newtown is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Newtown
Do you come out to small places like Newtown?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast near the sea around Newtown?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, daylight in Newtown lasts until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
