About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By late September, the light in Mount Pleasant goes at about 7:00pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
