DIY CATERING PACKAGES
Perfect for small event catering and most other occasions
If you enjoy the satisfaction of cooking your own spit roast, but you don’t want the hassle that comes with it, our do-it-yourself spit roast packages are perfect for you. We take care of all the hard work for you, including preparing the meat, setting up the spit, and getting the meat turning. All you have to do is carve the meat once it’s done. We also provide instructions on how to maintain the cook and when the meat is ready to be carved. Not requiring staff on site for the entire cook saves you money, gives you the added satisfaction of doing it yourself and will surely impress your guests. You can choose from our meat-only package or our inclusive package, which includes meat, cold sides, condiments, and bread rolls.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: To ensure maximum safety, we require the presence of a responsible adult throughout the cook.

Frequently Asked Questions
What time do you arrive to set up?
For budget and premium catering packages, we generally arrive approximately 4-5 hours before your eating time, depending on the size of your event. For DIY catering packages, we arrive approximately 3-4 hours before your eating time.
What do we need to provide?
We will require you to provide us with an outdoor space to cook and prep. Ideally, this space should be approximately 5 x 3m and reasonably close to a power source. In the event of bad weather, we will also require shelter, which can be in the form of a marquee, awning, carport, etc.
Do you cook whole pigs and lambs?
At Dizzy Spit Roasts we do not. Other than the aesthetics, we don't believe there are any other pros to cooking a whole beast.
Which areas do you service?
Dizzy Spit Roasts services the Sunshine Coast and Noosa. Catering Caloundra to Gympie and the surrounding hinterland suburbs.
Is your meat free range?
Yes, our beef and lamb are both free-range and our pork is sow stall, free-raised. All our meat is ethically farmed here in Australia.
How much meat per person for spit roast?
We allocate 250g of meat per person for our DIY and Budget catering and 300g per person for our premium catering packages.
For DIY and budget packages, we allocate approximately 200g of sides and 1 bread roll per person. For the premium package, we allocate approximately 300g of sides per person. (keep in mind that the exact weight will vary depending on the types of sides you order, as salad leaf is a lot lighter than potato and pasta etc.).
What if my guests are big eaters?
Dizzy Spit Roasts suggests that you cater for more guests than are attending. You need to remember that it is not an "all-you-can-eat buffet," and we can not control how much your guests serve themselves.
Do you have any gluten-free options?
Yes, all Dizzy Spit Roasts' meats are gluten-free, as are any of the sides listed on our menu, which have the GF symbol beneath them.
Is there a cook included in the price?
Yes, staff are included in the prices of our budget and premium packages.
How long does it take to cook a roast on a spit?
We cook with rolled roasts approximately 15-20cm in diameter, they generally take about 2-2.5h to cook on the spit.
What is the best meat for a spit roast?
We choose to cook with whole beef rump, boneless pork legs, and boneless lamb legs. These cuts have a great balance of fat and flavour and, when cooked perfectly, are tender and juicy.
What is the best cut of beef for spit roasting?
Our favourite cut of beef for spit roasting is the whole rump. We love it for its thick layer of fat on top, which renders down while cooking, self-basting the meat as it rotates.
What cut of lamb is best for rotisserie?
Our favourite cut of lamb for rotisserie cooking is rolled boneless lamb legs. The shoulder is also very popular; it's really down to personal preference.
What is the best cut of pork for spit?
Our favourite cut and what we cook with is rolled boneless pork legs. The shoulder is also very popular; it's really down to personal preference.
