How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September shoots near Lee lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
