The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change.
