What affects the price in Botany Bay
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Botany Bay
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A photo of the cooking area
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Light matters for a long roast: in Botany Bay, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Botany Bay: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Trent Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Botany Bay has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
