About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, it’s dark in Emmington by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Send final numbers in good time
