Do you come out to small places like Crow?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.

Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.

From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event in Crow. Around midsummer it stays light in Crow until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

A hog roast or other catering?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is generally the easier choice. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
