What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.

For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September shoots near Snaresbrook lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day
