Hi. Haven't tried this before, but have bought one - any recommendations on how to roast please? - with water/without water - with veges? etc. Just want it to be nice for the first try. TIA.

I poke a knife in all over to create wee pockets, stuff with whole cloves of garlic, rub the outside in cracked pepper and crushed garlic (and anything else u like) sprinkle with salt. Wrap the whole lot in tin foil and leave in fridge til ready to cook.
Place wrapped meat in roasting dish with a bit of water in bottom and cook slow, oven (around 170deg) for a couple hours dependant on size.
Or cook in crockpot unwrapped.

topside needs to be slow roasted so it doesn't dry out.

Make a pot roast with it. Otherwise it's dry.

last one i did i did in an oven bag, also put in onion, tin of tomatoes and a carrot first, then sat the meat on top, did it at about 160 for a couple of hours, used the juices to make a yummy gravy.

I got this recipe off here. I use it all the time and its nice and tender. Put topside in the crockpot, combine a Maggi French Onion Soup mix, 1tbspn brown sugar and 1tspn paprika. Sprinkel over the roast and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Use juices to make and gravy.
Note:I brown mine off first before adding flavourings, gives it a nicer flavour.

I do mine in the crockpot. Cover with water add a little vinegar and 2 or 3 T of brown sugar. Cook on low and slow

I cut a pocket in it and put stuffing in it, wrap well in tin foil and put no more than a cup of water in bottom of crockpot (so it doesnt stick)and it cooks very moistand tender. Have the stuffing end at the top so it doesnt get wet if moisture was to leak into foil
