The menu, dish by dish

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.

Can you serve on plates?
