We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. By late September, sunset in North Hinksey is around 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
