Questions to ask before booking

- What the price includes, item by item
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, daylight in Cooper Street ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book our hog roast in Cooper Street

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Sides make a proper lunch.
