About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In summer, Bracknell has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
