What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Queenborough is dark by about 3:50pm, so we may set up under lights.

- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.

How to prepare
