A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your shoot. In December, daylight in Binscombe ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or GU7 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.

Questions from Binscombe
Is Binscombe too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Binscombe from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

For event organisers in Binscombe
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
