About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In December, daylight in Ramsdean ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
