Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. By late September, sunset near Yorkletts is about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
