A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us numbers for the alternatives

We serve when people arrive, calmly and without fuss.

If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
