About our hog roast for events in Emmbrook
Agricultural shows and country events near Emmbrook are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. For fun runs and sports events and agricultural and country shows, we can cook rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers for your visitors.
In Emmbrook, one popular trader keeps it simple. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- A firm way on and off the field
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
