How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Summer events in Birling Gap have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
