A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At a December wedding in Tower Hamlets, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
