- 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 arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Send final numbers in good time
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
