A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A heads-up for next door
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A spot well away from the house

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Orlestone, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
