Slow-roasted pork in The Chart
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Winter afternoons in The Chart are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
