What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level pitch
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A safe distance from other traders
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
