What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a staff lunch in Tinkers Cross, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
