How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By about 3:50pm in late December, Charing Heath is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
