WIN: A Bottomless Roast for 2 with Wine at Poco in Alfriston🍷
We’ve teamed up with Poco to give one lucky winner a bottomless Sunday roast for two, served family-style, with wine included.
Think slow-roasted salt marsh shoulder of lamb and house-rolled local porchetta, Nonna’s creamed leeks and lashings of proper gravy… and yes, it’s bottomless. When the food runs low, they top it up.
Perfect for treating someone special. The winner can book for Mother’s Day (subject to availability) or enjoy on a Sunday of their choice before 30th May. Ready to tuck in?
