What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
