Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. After-work summer events in Barnes Street have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.
