The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-September sunset in Shepherd's Bush is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
