About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, daylight in Whitemans Green ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
