Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Vehicle access close by
For somewhere as remote as Yarbridge, early notice helps us plan the trip.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
