What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.

Things that change the price:
- Season and day of the week
