Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Typical bookings include period drama shoots and wrap days, with rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Post allergen details at base
Give us one contact in production.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.

Questions from Bullockstone
Can you roast near the sea around Bullockstone?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Could you cook in Curtis Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
