Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Harcourt Hill
Can you do a hog roast in Raleigh Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Harcourt Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll plan around them.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you cater open days with families?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If it is for clients, add china, sides and a second roast to make it more formal. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
