How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By late September, sunset near Apuldram is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Time on site

The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
