Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Request gluten-free rolls
Name a contact for the day, typically locations or the production office.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Chesham
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Chesham?
Amersham station, about 2.6 miles south of the centre.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit, agreed with locations.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Summer shoots near Chesham have light until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
