Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Milton, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- 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 tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
