About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
