Before you book

A few details make sizing much easier.

Know the menu

Tell us whether you’re cooking gyros, rolled cuts, separate pieces or a whole animal.

Check whole animals

If you’re sourcing your own lamb or pig, confirm its dressed weight and mounting needs with your butcher.

Allow for a second spit

A whole animal uses a full roaster. Extra meats or gyros will need another roaster.

Plan the fire-safe spot

Use the roaster outdoors on a stable, non-combustible surface and follow current CFA restrictions.

Want the meat included?

Skip the butcher run and choose a ready-made package.

Planning resources

Choose from the menu and meat weight, not only the guest count.

Roaster sizing guide

Compare capacity for cuts, gyros and whole animals before choosing equipment.

Whole pig hire

Match pigs up to 12kg, 20kg or 30kg to the appropriate roaster.

Whole lamb hire

Plan the dressed weight, mounting and equipment for a whole lamb.

Gyros spit hire

Review gyros capacity and fixed lamb-and-chicken meat packages.
