A closer look at the menu

Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Staples Corner is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
