The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Sunset in Lower Twydall in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
