Traditional Mini Roast Selection

Enjoy some variety in your roast dinner with our selection of three hand-prepared mini roasts. Sear, roast and serve with our Chef’s prepared sides.

To get the most out of these traditional roasts, Chef Eddie recommends cooking the beef and lamb to medium, to retain its natural succulence and full flavour. The pork should be fully cooked all the way through before eating. If in doubt, use a meat thermometer to check the doneness.
