- A safe distance from the hall
- A level outdoor area

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
We hold the food if people are delayed.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
