Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal is not offered
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count crew needing an alternative
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.

For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Summer shoots near Wildmoor have light until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
