Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering, for a wrap or a milestone. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
