The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Because the roast starts early, and in December Stanmore is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each price is built from:
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
