The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Sunset in Stanford Dingley is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
