Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
