The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Crook Log ends around 3:50pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or DA7 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some crew won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
