Self-service carvery options
Culinary offerings center around the carvery, where guests can help themselves at a serving station. The slow-cooked roast beef is particularly popular, served with a rich beef gravy and praised for its tenderness. The roast turkey also impresses with its juicy texture and is often mentioned as a perfect complement to the side dishes. The Yorkshire puddings, freshly baked daily, are a highlight—light, crispy, and a must-have for every guest. The roast potatoes are hand-ruffed to guarantee an extra crispy crust, while the seasonal vegetables, such as carrots or green beans, are presented fresh and colorful. For vegetarians, there are tasty alternatives like the vegetable roast, served with a vegan glaze yet still offering the full flavor of a traditional roast.
