It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We will need light around the serving area. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas fairs and christmas family parties, with crackling, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
For event organisers in Goose Hill
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
