What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In Broadstone, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
