A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

The process

Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
