Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: fill in our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
