👨‍🍳 COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

If frozen, defrost fully in the fridge before cooking. Remove all packaging, leaving the butcher’s cooking string on.

Preheat your oven to 190°C / 180°C fan / Gas Mark 5.

Place in a roasting tin, add a splash of water or stock and cover loosely with foil.

Using approximately 50 minutes per kg, allow 4 hours 35 minutes for 5.5 kg, or 5 hours for 6 kg. Start checking the centre temperature well before the estimated finishing time. Remove the foil for the final 20–30 minutes to brown the bacon.

Cooking times are only a guide—the joint’s thickness and your oven affect the time needed. Check the centre of the thickest part with a clean meat thermometer: it must reach 75°C for at least 30 seconds. Once safely cooked, remove from the oven.

Rest loosely covered with foil for 30 minutes, then remove the string and carve.

These instructions are for an unstuffed joint. Follow any specific cooking instructions supplied with your purchase.
