The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
