Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Film set catering in Ramsnest Common, carved to order
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. Typical bookings include wrap days and crew thank-you days, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
Near Ramsnest Common, check tracks and ground with locations. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Label the alternatives clearly
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
