About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Rusher's Cross are after dark. The cooking area is lit; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
