The Premier Ox Roast™
This dining service choice in our menu will feed the most people, working out at a terrific value per head, and the beef we serve is the best you will probably ever taste. Spectacular in its presentation this is a Whole Roast Ox Carved and Served to your guests. The whole Ox is roasted in a fully portable Embers Ox Roast Trailer, at your venue, and it is carved and served in a large bun and accompanied by a Green Salad. Our price also includes the skilled Chef plus assistants and staff to cook, carve and serve at the location you specify, in the venue of your choice, with a serving table including all the condiments and disposables supplied, (or if preferred, China plates and stainless steel cutlery is available to hire at an extra cost, or biodegradable plates on request). We offer a serving time of around 2 hours (which suits most parties) but with prior arrangement the serving time can be extended for larger functions. To accompany your Ox roast we can provide extra salad options, extra joints of other types of meat, and, if preferred, the buns can be replaced with a selection of rolls and butter. The Premier Ox Roast caters for all larger parties and events, from 500 people upwards to 2000, depending on the size of the Ox. We are now taking bookings for 2010 and 2011, so why not ring now for a friendly chat about your ideas and requirements and to check availability, we are here to help.
"Thank you very much, the professionalism you showed during the planning stage, was equalled by your fantastic Ox Roast, everyone enjoyed the food and spectacle enormously." Konrad Goess-Saura, Birthday Party, Wiltshire, 2005.
How It Is Done
We are acknowledged as THE experts in this field - there are only a handful of caterers in the UK capable of roasting a whole Ox at any venue, and we probably built and supplied them with the equipment to do it! As you can see the whole Ox is spitted, and mounted on a purpose engineered trolley and then wheeled into the large Embers Ox Roast Trailer, which has been driven to your venue in the afternoon, the day before the event (the Ox is one we supply, or one delivered to the site from the local butchers that you have ordered it from, ring us for details).
With the Ox in the trailer it is kept chilled ready for it to be cooked early in the morning so that it will reach perfection at the time you have specified for serving. After the Ox has been roasted we wheel the trolley from the unit to the serving area 'piping hot' with simply delicious aromas and the Chef will carve the Ox in front of your guests and our staff will serve them.
We have flexible rain proof equipment and covers for outside areas and events.

The Roast Lamb Menu
To cater for all food tastes and practices we can offer you the Roast Lamb Menu. This dining service choice is a wonderful option as a tender, Whole Roast Lamb, is carved and served for you, placed in a large bun, with mint sauce, stuffing and a green salad. Disposable plates and napkins are included (or if preferred, China plates and stainless steel cutlery is available to hire at an extra cost). Lamb is an expensive option compared to other meats, (when worked out per head) yet it will feed 80 to 100 people and provide you with a sumptuous meal and a showpiece for your guests. We can also provide extra salad options, extra joints of other types of meat and, if preferred, the large, soft buns can be replaced with rolls.

And For Those Really Large Events
There are perhaps only 3 companies in the UK that can boast, 'there is nothing we cannot cook for you, no matter the amount or size of animal required or where you want it done' and we are one of them, and perhaps even the only one. We have mobile ovens that can roast 5 whole pigs or a combination of different meats, i.e. some whole pigs, whole lambs and large joints or sides of beef, or we can use our largest mobile ovens to.... ROAST A WHOLE OX! ... or two. This is something we are an expert in, where we achieve outstanding results, no matter the location, and no matter the brief.
Contact us to discuss your requirements and we are confident we can meet your needs!
