If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
