What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer shoots near Woburn Sands have light until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
