Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.

The menu, dish by dish
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
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.

Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Wannock is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
