Hog roast hire in Perry Vale, carved to order
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater festive gatherings and gatherings after a funeral.
Gardens in Perry Vale tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Around midsummer it stays light in Perry Vale until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
