Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In summer, Tourner Bury has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
