Catered or do it yourself?

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

How we price a hog roast for your party

Your quote depends on:

  • Travel to Winchelsea Beach
  • Site access
  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
  • Season and day of the week

Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

What we need to know

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:

  • Your menu choices
  • Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
  • Dietary requirements
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.

About the food

Roast pork

Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:

  • Keep the vegetarian option labelled
  • Ask about allergies on the invitation
  • Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
  • Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect

If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.

Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.

Choosing a hog roast caterer

The process

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Sunset in Winchelsea Beach is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

  1. Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
  2. We check the garden or drive and quote.
  3. We arrive early and get the roast going.
  4. We carve and serve at food time.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
  • Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
