A hog roast or other catering?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Planned to your running order
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Late-September shoots near Broomhill lose the light at about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your crew
