Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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 is ready when you want to eat. In Keeper's Corner, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.

How we price a hog roast for your party
Each price is built from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A step-free way into the garden
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
