What we serve, dish by dish

Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
