What we serve, dish by dish

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed

Afterwards we pack up quietly.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Autumn and winter afternoons in Ebbsfleet Valley get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
