How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
