Looking after everyone

- Request thin slices
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
