- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

How it works
When we arrive, 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. Late-September shoots near Westhumble lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Name a contact for the day.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
