Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A summer party in Andwell stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
