Party hog roast in Woolage Village, slow-roasted on site
Party food needs to be easy to eat, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. On the menu are coleslaw, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and retirement celebrations.
A country party near Woolage Village is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
