Will there be enough to go round?

Most places, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What should we sort out beforehand?

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Most wakes in South Park are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it’s dark at about 3:55pm.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
