The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, sunset in Russell Hill is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Wedding hog roast in Russell Hill, carved to order
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so nothing is left to chance. On the menu are new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads, and typical bookings are for evening food after the first dance and second-day get-togethers.
In Russell Hill, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll agree the details with them. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Russell Hill
Could you cook in Duppas Hill?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Russell Hill has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do you come to Russell Hill?
Yes, Russell Hill is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Why Russell Hill hosts choose us

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
