Bites: Host a roast with none of the hassle
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you're like us, summer doesn't mean the end of the hearty Sunday roast. It just means we're more likely to drift off to the garden or park and leave the washing-up till later (ugh). It's – still – the perfect time for friends and family to draw up a chair, have a proper catch-up and eat till they're fit to burst.
One of the best places to have the hard work taken out of the whole enterprise is the kookily named Paradise By Way of Kensal Green (blame GK Chesterton). This rangy gastropub (theparadise.co.uk) has been serving up roasts for ages, but now it offers "Host your own roast", where you can choose a chunk of meat – top-quality beef, lamb, chicken, suckling pig, goose or duck – and have it served with all the trimmings to you and up to 18 of your nearest and dearest in a private room. Best of all, the Paradise's chef, Tim Payne, comes tableside to carve. Then just walk away from the greasy plates for a game of Scrabble or a post-prandial snifter in the bar... Bliss.
