- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays

Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In December, Ringmer is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Halal is not offered
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
