Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. On a winter shoot near Ningwood, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
