Medieval kitchen in Gainsborough Old Hall Manor in Lincolnshire, UK. Medieval kitchens were placed outside the Great Hall for fire safety. Spits roasting meat and large, iron cauldrons bubbling with soups and stews were all part of the kitchen's daily routine. Lambs, cattle, pigs, and fowl were tethered or penned nearby, some castles kept a pond stocked with fish, and cooking herbs would be grown in nearby gardens. Castle kitchens could be large enough to roast up to three whole oxen at a time!l
