Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Served at the time you choose
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request thin slices
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count families and staff too
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
