A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering, for a wrap or a milestone. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
Read our pricing or the cost guide.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Here’s what affects the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Plates or china

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count crew needing an alternative
Name a contact for the day, usually locations or the production office.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A named contact at base
- Approval from locations
- A level area at base
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Because the roast starts early, and in December Cores End is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
