Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Questions from Blacklands
What’s the nearest station to Blacklands?
Ore station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.

Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
