How it works
On the day, 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. Summer shoots near Perrywood have light until about 9:15pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.

- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
