We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing generally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
Can you do soft food?

Where will the roaster go?
In the garden or car park, in a spot you approve.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
