What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Evening parties in Emmbrook need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Party hog roast in Emmbrook, slow-roasted on site
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. For retirement parties and close and cul-de-sac parties, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and hog roast rolls and more.
For a party in Emmbrook, home is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will do the rest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Catered or do it yourself?

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
