- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Count families and staff too
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event

- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
