About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
If the service runs late, we wait; just let us know.
Ask about china.
