About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.

- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
