What comes off the roaster

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. By late September, sunset in Crook Log is about 7:05pm; by December it’s about 3:50pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
How to prepare

- Parking close to the house

Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
