How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In December, daylight in Church End ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Church End
Can you do a hog roast in Victoria Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if our house in Church End has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you work to the call sheet?
That’s exactly how we work.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you need much space at base?
Usually, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
