Catered or do it yourself?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Show allergens at the stall
- Signpost the stall clearly
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
