Is Tapnage too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.

Can you cater our wrap?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
