A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for crew who don’t eat pork.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. On a winter shoot near Statenborough, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.

Statenborough questions
Could you cook in Ham Fen?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Statenborough?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you have alternatives?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t offer halal meat.
