A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Shelter for crew
- A level area at base
- A safe distance from kit
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
