What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-May events in Burwood Park have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

Preparing for the day

- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Add coleslaw.
