Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. At midsummer, sunset in Rushlake Green is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.

We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Rushlake Green
- Site access
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Permission for outside catering
- A serving area close to where guests eat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
