A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Hawley
Which station is closest to Hawley?
Blackwater station, in Hawley itself.
Could you cook in Sandhurst Memorial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you need much space at base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we will be ready.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, sunset near Hawley is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
