What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken

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.

For event organisers in Bolney
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Summer events in Bolney have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
