Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
How we price a hog roast day
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. For a summer hog roast day in Golden Cross, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
