How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, daylight in Standlake ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:30pm.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
