For planners, venues and organisers

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. If your staff event in Handcross runs into the evening, check the light: about 9:20pm in June, 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.
