Why choose a hog roast in Cranbourne?
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why Cranbourne hosts choose us
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Fresh carving at the serving station

How our funeral wake catering works in Cranbourne
After a funeral in Cranbourne, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and it takes the cooking off the family. We serve salads, apple sauce and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for wakes at home and anniversary memorials.
For a wake near Cranbourne, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Organising for someone else?

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
