Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.

A hog roast compared with other options

Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
