About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan residents can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Someone to meet us
- Flat ground in the grounds
- A spot that keeps access clear
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
