How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In December, daylight in Billingbear ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. 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.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
