Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-September shoots near Northbrook lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A route for our vehicle
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- The location manager’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
