The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, daylight in Olney lasts until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
How to get a price

What comes off the roaster

Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.

Questions from Olney
Is Olney close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit, agreed with locations.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you get to rural locations?
Send the location and access notes and we’ll confirm.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not offer halal meat.
