How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Autumn and winter afternoons in Greenhill get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- A short route for the equipment
As a London location, Greenhill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
