How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need to provide electricity?

Does the roaster have to be outside?

- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We serve on time, keeping the queue moving.

Catered or do it yourself?

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
