Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In December, it’s dark in Heath Common by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
