Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, events in Neames Forstal stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
