It is hot, filling food after a long morning.
We are regularly asked to cater a wide mix of occasions near Albury, such as:
- Period drama shoots
- Long days on set
- Shoots on location

Nearby historic houses include Adwell House (4.3 miles south-east) and Garsington Manor (4.9 miles south-west). Period locations like these generally keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early.

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
Sides make a proper lunch.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Albury ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: use our quote form.
