A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
When should we book?

Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

Sunset in Twyford is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
