We keep things simple for families: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. We are frequently asked to cater home wakes and pub and club wakes, serving rotisserie chicken, roast pork in rolls or on plates and apple sauce.
In Sunninghill, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
