What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan crew can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Summer shoots near Ash have light until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
