What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, Bekesbourne Hill is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Let us know about tight access
