What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an autumn event in Allhallows, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
