The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Whitewood, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
