The closest is Romsey station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
How do we book for a business?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we will explain the booking terms.

Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
