How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In December, Risinghurst is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.

What affects the price in Risinghurst
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Your trader requirements
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
