About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Autumn parties in Batt's Corner get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.

Preparing for the day

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about children’s portions
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
