A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Goose Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
