A hog roast near New Zealand
How our hog roast hire works in New Zealand
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We are often asked to cater big birthdays and anniversaries and christmas parties, serving salads, halloumi skewers and crackling.
In a rural place like New Zealand, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
How it 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. By late September, sunset in New Zealand is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Looking after everyone

- Put the menu on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we’re there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.

Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.

New Zealand: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at St Peter's: can you cater?

Which station is closest to New Zealand?
Aylesbury station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is mains power needed?

Is crackling included?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
