- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Add coleslaw.
