How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In summer, Heyshott has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
