The process
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 is ready when you want to eat. Autumn and winter afternoons in Sulham get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
