For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for church and village fêtes and country shows.
A fête near Knox Bridge might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. For an autumn event in Knox Bridge, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
