The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Travel to Linwood
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.

Linwood: your questions answered

Is Linwood too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-May events in Linwood have light until about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to cold food, hot food is popular in any season. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
