About our corporate hog roast in Woodside
In Woodside, we cater retirements, openings and long-service celebrations, as a simple way to say thank you. Whether it is staff thank-you lunches and summer staff parties, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb and more.
Rural businesses around Woodside can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Open days in Woodside normally finish in daylight, though in winter it is dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.
