What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
We clear our spot after lunch.
Sides make a proper lunch.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In December, daylight in Westhampnett ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.

- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
