Casual & Hearty
CASUAL & HEARTY
A RUSTIC RITUAL, CARVE UP A JUICY JOINT
Think plates piled high with simple tasty fare. A well carved roast, in the centre of a chunky wooden table. Good honest fare, relaxed surrounds, where everyone is welcome. FAMILY.
THE FINER DETAILS
KEY PIECES
PAIR WITH THE PERFECT RED WINE
Pair a hearty roast dinner with a big red Bordeaux, like Pauillac or St Estephe, or a red Rhône such as Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Cote-Rotie or Gigondas.
SETTING THE TABLE
Familiarity is the key: simple things done well and without fuss. A well selected cut from a good butcher, garnished with seasonal vegetables. Don't forget the gravy. Lay out on a bare wooden tabletop with crisp linen napkins tied with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
PLAYLIST: ROASTING RHYTHMS
Add a little refinement, a little elegance to underpin the casual mood. Something jazzy halfway through keeps things loose.
