The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
