A hog roast near Bagmore
Film set catering in Bagmore, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Bagmore, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Typical bookings include music video days and wrap parties, serving hog roast rolls, a vegan option and new potatoes.
For a shoot in a place like Bagmore, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some crew will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Post allergen details at base
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

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 Bagmore ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

What the cooking area needs
