Whole Pig Spit Roast Hire Melbourne
Choose a charcoal roaster for your pig, or ask us to supply the whole pig fitted to the spit rod and ready for the fire.

Match the pig to the roaster
Start with the dressed weight, not only the guest count.
A whole pig takes the full length of a spit, so the dressed weight and mounting requirements determine the roaster you need.
Party Spit Hire has standard, large and extra-large charcoal roasters suited to different whole-pig weights. Tell us the pig weight, whether you are sourcing it yourself and what else you hope to cook.
We publish the equipment hire price for each roaster. Whole-pig supply, delivery, collection and optional cooking are quoted for the actual event rather than charged per person.
Whole pig capacity guide
Three roaster sizes for different pig weights.
Large roaster
The 1.2 metre roaster supports a whole pig up to 20kg. Hire price: $160 plus a $60 refundable deposit.
Extra-large roaster
The 1.5 metre roaster supports a whole pig up to 30kg. Hire price: $175 plus a $70 refundable deposit.
One animal per roaster
A whole pig generally occupies the full spit. Additional meats or gyros require a second roaster.
Supply it or bring your own
Two practical ways to organise the pig.
If Party Spit Hire supplies the whole pig, it arrives fitted to the spit rod with the required brackets. This removes the job of arranging the mounting with a butcher.
If you are sourcing your own pig, confirm the dressed weight and mounting requirements before booking. Send those details with your quote request so we can recommend a suitable roaster and accessories.
- Confirm the dressed pig weight with the supplier
- Allow a full roaster for the whole animal
- Plan a level outdoor cooking area with safe clearance
- Include the event suburb and serving time in the quote request
What the written quote covers
Equipment, food and event logistics shown separately.
The roaster hire prices are published on the website. A whole-pig order is quoted as a fixed event order based on the supplied pig, equipment, delivery and collection requirements.

- Whole pig supply and mounting when requested
- Charcoal and firelighters when included
- Delivery, collection and optional cook-and-carve service
