The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
