What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Send us the date, the address or RH17 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Warninglid, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
