Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In December, daylight in Aldingbourne ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with ordering in, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

- Choices for people who do not eat pork
