A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. For a summer hog roast day in Ibworth, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
