Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Baughurst, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
