About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
