About our hog roast for events in Red Hill
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. Typical bookings include summer fêtes and fundraising events, serving apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Rural events near Red Hill can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For an autumn event in Red Hill, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
