We liaise with your locations and production team on where we set up and when for shoots around Bray. On the menu are halloumi skewers, salads and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for farm and estate locations and wrap parties.
Rural locations near Bray can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. 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.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
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.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
- Your menu choices
- A picture of the cooking area
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Bray hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Timed around your day
- Carved to order by a chef
- A choice of salads and potatoes

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
