Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count who does not eat pork
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A lunchtime Christmas party in Gosford is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
