Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
If it is for clients, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What affects the price in Tisman's Common
Things that change the price:
- Site access
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. After-work summer events in Tisman's Common have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Planning help

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
