A Sunday Staple, Elevated the Eversfield Way
At Eversfield Organic, the humble roast dinner is nothing short of a celebration – a tradition steeped in warmth, flavour, and shared moments. Whether you're planning a leisurely Sunday lunch or hosting a special gathering, creating the ultimate organic roast begins with exceptional ingredients and a touch of know-how. Here's our guide to crafting the perfect roast dinner, featuring premium organic joints, seasonal sides, and all the little tips that make a big difference.
Choose Your Hero Cut: The Organic Centrepiece
Organic Beef Roasting Joint
Rich, robust and deeply savoury
Our organic beef roasting joints – from classic topside to richly marbled sirloin – are aged for tenderness and depth of flavour. Season generously with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and rosemary. Sear to form a golden crust before roasting. Rest well post-cooking to lock in juices.
Top Tip: Cook low and slow for tenderness, or medium-high for a perfect pink centre. Use beef drippings to make an indulgent gravy.
Organic Lamb Shoulder or Leg
Sweet, succulent and infused with herbal notes
Organic lamb offers a delicate, grassy flavour that pairs beautifully with garlic, rosemary, and lemon. A slow-roasted shoulder becomes meltingly tender, while a leg is ideal for a more structured, sliceable roast.
Recipe Idea: Create a mustard and herb crust for added punch, and roast over halved onions and carrots to infuse the meat and make a base for your gravy.
Organic Pork Loin or Belly
Sweet, juicy, and wonderfully textural
A pork loin roast gives you lean, tender slices, while pork belly is ideal for crackling lovers. Score the skin, dry it thoroughly, and roast uncovered at high heat for a golden, crispy finish.
Top Tip: Pair with apple sauce and sage or try a cider-based glaze for a sweet-savory harmony.
Organic Chicken (Whole Bird)
Comforting, golden, and crowd-pleasing
An organic chicken roast is simple and soulful. Rub with butter, thyme, and lemon zest for an aromatic skin. Roast on a bed of root veg to infuse flavour and save on washing up.
Eversfield Everyday Tip: Spatchcock the chicken for faster, more even cooking and crispier skin.
Sublime Side Dishes
No roast is complete without its supporting cast. Here’s how to elevate your vegetables into showstoppers.
Crispy Organic Roast Potatoes
Parboil first, then shake to roughen the edges. Roast in hot beef or duck fat with garlic and rosemary. Season generously with sea salt.
Organic Seasonal Veg
Think caramelised carrots with honey and thyme, or steamed greens with a mustard-butter glaze. Use what’s in season for the freshest flavour.
Cauliflower Cheese (Done Right)
Make a silky béchamel with organic milk, mature cheddar, and a touch of Dijon. Grill until bubbling and golden on top.
Yorkshire Puddings
Even if you're not having beef, Yorkshires are too good to skip. Use free-range organic eggs for a rich rise and unbeatable texture.
Gravy with Depth
Use pan drippings and roast veg to create a glossy, savoury gravy. A splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar enhances the richness.
Why Organic Makes the Difference
Organic meat delivers superior flavour thanks to a natural, slow-growing life, with no antibiotics, artificial growth hormones or GM feed. It’s not just better for your plate—it’s better for animal welfare, soil health, and the planet.
You’ll taste the difference in the meat: deeper, cleaner, and more complex. It’s what makes every Eversfield roast unforgettable.
Final Touches
-
Rest Your Meat: Rest for 15–30 minutes before carving to retain juices.
-
Use Fresh Herbs: A scattering of fresh parsley, rosemary or thyme lifts every plate.
-
Set the Table: A beautiful roast deserves a table to match. Candles, natural linen and a proper carving knife complete the occasion.
