Made with care
Nothing extravagant. Just a wholesome roast, done properly.
- 01
Locally sourced
Fresh, locally sourced meat, never frozen, and root vegetables: the pumpkin and kūmara are chosen at market by hand, every week.
- 02
Slow roasted
Cooked the traditional way, slowly, until the meat is tender and the crackling snaps. Generous portions: a large does two meals.
- 03
Made here
Our gravy is homemade, the way it has been on Williams Street since 2007.
Worth the drive
