How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-December sunset in South Nutfield is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
