Hog roast for events in Rose Hill
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September events in Rose Hill lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?

- We bring everything to cook and serve
