About our corporate hog roast in Sandy Balls

Rural businesses around Sandy Balls can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Shelter for the team
- A named contact for the day

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
