What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to West Heath
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
