A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
