A hog roast near Spring Vale
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A step-free way into the garden
Spring Vale is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Common questions in Spring Vale
We are gathering after a service at St. Peter's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Spring Vale?
The closest is Ryde St Johns Road station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you cover Spring Vale?
Yes, Spring Vale is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. At midsummer, it is light in Spring Vale until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
