Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Before you choose a spot

- A firm way on and off the field
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Space for people to queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
