Here, meats such as juicy beef, tender turkey, and spicy ham are slow-cooked for 14 hours before being freshly carved in front of the guests. The "Yorkshire Puddings," which are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, are particularly popular and considered the perfect accompaniment to the roast.
