Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.

Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
