Cut a strip of barding fat the length of the roast. Wrap this strip around the roast.
Tie a piece of string lengthways around the roast to secure the fat.
Tie the string very tightly around one end of the roast and make a knot. Lay the string along the length of the roast. Place your thumb on the string 2 cm from the top knot. Hold your thumb down firmly, then wrap the other end of the string around the roast. Allow the string to pass under your thumb, then pull the string upwards to tighten the hold.
Continue the process of wrapping and tying until you reach the end of the roast. Finish with two loops on top of one another then tie a knot.
