What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Autumn and winter afternoons in Steeple Claydon get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
