Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

How our film set catering works in Agar Town
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings for shoots around Agar Town. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for period locations and ad shoots.
Shoots in Agar Town frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A route for our vehicle
- The location manager’s agreement

- We cook at base.

What else we do in Agar Town
Working with your venue

Questions from Agar Town
Could you cook in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Agar Town has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
What about locations off the beaten track?
We can, given access details. Let us know about the route.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do. Tell us the date and location.
