Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

FAQs for Willen
Do you come out to small places like Willen?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Campbell Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is lighting needed?
It gets dark early, so we will sort lighting together.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
