What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for crew who don’t eat pork.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
