How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Sunset in Hammill Park in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- 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.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Roughly how many people
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
