Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

How we price a hog roast for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

These are the details we need:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
- A picture of the cooking area
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.

Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In December, Hale is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
