Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.

What about crew who do not eat pork?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.

The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
