Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Open days in Upper Bush normally finish in daylight, but in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
- Contact us with the basics.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
