The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A firm way on and off the field
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
