A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At midsummer, daylight in Upper Winchendon lasts until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
