Each package typically includes all ingredients, on-site cooking, carving or grilling, serving staff, setup, and clean-up. We also provide serving tables, chafing dishes, rustic presentation boards, and protective coverings where needed. Additionally, side dishes such as seasonal salads, artisan breads, sauces, and condiments are included. We work closely with each client to tailor the package to suit the event size and style. Optional extras like desserts, drinks service, tableware, and decorative elements can also be added to complete the experience.
Yes, we pride ourselves on offering fully customised menus to reflect your event’s style, theme, and dietary needs. Whether you’re hosting a Mediterranean-inspired garden party, a formal wedding, or a laid-back beach BBQ, we’ll design a menu that fits perfectly. We accommodate all dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-sensitive options. You can also choose from a variety of meats, marinades, sides, and cooking styles to ensure every guest feels catered for. We work collaboratively with you to ensure the flavours and presentation align with your vision and the atmosphere you want to create.
Our hog roast and BBQ setups are extremely versatile and scalable, allowing us to cater for events ranging from intimate private gatherings of 20 guests to large-scale celebrations of over 300 people. We adjust our setup and staffing accordingly, ensuring every guest is served quickly and efficiently without compromising on quality or presentation. For hog roasts, we typically recommend a minimum of around 40 guests to make the service cost-effective, but we’re always happy to discuss tailored options for smaller or larger groups. Our team ensures that no one leaves hungry, no matter the size of your guest list.
Absolutely. A complete dining experience goes beyond the main attraction, which is why we offer a wide selection of freshly prepared side dishes, salads, and desserts to accompany your BBQ or hog roast. Choose from options like Mediterranean couscous, herbed potato salad, grilled vegetables, corn on the cob, and mixed green salads. Our dessert options range from fruit platters and homemade cakes to indulgent brownies, cheesecakes, or churros with chocolate. We tailor every menu to your preferences and can suggest combinations that complement your main dishes beautifully. All sides and desserts are prepared using high-quality ingredients and served with care.
The cooking time for a hog roast depends on the size of the pig and the cooking method used, but it typically takes between 6 to 8 hours for a whole pig to roast to perfection. For large-scale events, we aim to arrive early to begin the slow roasting process well in advance, ensuring the meat is tender, juicy, and ready to be served at the scheduled time. Our experienced chefs monitor the roasting process closely to maintain ideal temperature and flavour. The extended cooking time adds to the theatre of the experience, as guests can enjoy watching the transformation.
Whenever possible, we roast the hog on-site to provide an authentic, theatrical experience and to ensure maximum freshness and flavour. The sight and aroma of a hog slowly roasting creates a fantastic talking point and adds to the overall atmosphere of your event. In certain situations where time or venue limitations don’t allow for on-site cooking, we can prepare the hog in advance and deliver it freshly roasted, along with serving staff to carve and serve it to guests. We will always discuss the best option with you during the planning process to suit your venue and schedule.
While pork is a popular choice for both hog roasts and BBQs, our menus extend well beyond it. We offer a wide range of meats including beef brisket, lamb, chicken thighs and wings, steak, gourmet sausages, and ribs – all expertly marinated and grilled to perfection. For seafood lovers, we can include prawns, calamari, or salmon fillets. We also offer international BBQ styles such as Argentine asado, American-style smokehouse, and Mediterranean grill options. All dishes are crafted with care using fresh, locally sourced ingredients to ensure bold flavours and exceptional quality across every plate.
Yes, we are proud to offer a delicious range of vegetarian and vegan BBQ dishes. Our plant-based options include grilled vegetable skewers, marinated tofu steaks, vegan burgers, chargrilled mushrooms, jackfruit sliders, and vibrant fresh salads. We take just as much care with our vegetarian and vegan dishes as we do with our meat options, ensuring they’re full of flavour, texture, and visual appeal. We can create entirely vegetarian or mixed menus depending on your guest list, and we’re always happy to accommodate special dietary needs or preferences with creative and satisfying alternatives.

Similarly, BBQ dishes are grilled on-site, allowing guests to see, smell, and enjoy the cooking process.

We recommend booking your hog roast or BBQ catering as early as possible, especially if your event is taking place during peak season (spring through autumn). Ideally, bookings should be made at least 4 to 8 weeks in advance to ensure availability and allow time to personalise your menu and service details. That said, we understand plans can come together quickly, and we’ll always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests depending on availability. Once your booking is confirmed, we’ll guide you through every step of the planning process to make it as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
