A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
