A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children generally like it too.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
For event organisers in Thorney Island
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Thorney Island, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
