What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In summer, Segensworth has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
