A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

- Which meats and sides you choose

For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Where the roaster can go in Old Dean
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
