Place in a large ovenproof roasting tin and cook in the oven for 25 minutes.
Turn down the oven temperature by 10 degrees and continue roasting for a further 2-2.5 hours.

Loosely cover with foil, keep warm and leave to rest for 15 minutes before carving.
In a saucepan, gently warm the Potts gravy before serving.
