A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access to base
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A contact in production
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
