Step by step
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, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-September shoots near Kings Hill lose the light at about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
