The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

- Access agreed with locations
- Sign-off from the location
- One contact for the day
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
