What else we do in Lower Pennington
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
