How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Daytime open days in Stocker's Head are rarely affected by light, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
