For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Add dietary questions to the invite

- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast turkey can be added.
