What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. A lunchtime Christmas party in Challock is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Working with your venue
