About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
