Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Post allergen details at base
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
Name a contact for the day, typically locations or the production office.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Water Eaton
Could you cook in Waterhall Park?

Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Late-September shoots near Water Eaton lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
