About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
For an evening wrap.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. On a winter shoot near Westwood, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
