When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve halloumi skewers, coleslaw and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater festive gatherings and summer garden parties.

Liphook station, about 3.6 miles south of the centre.

Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
