If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we’ll adjust. Popular choices include salads, hog roast rolls and a vegan option, and typical bookings are for base catering and location shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Crockerhill, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Crockerhill ends around 4:00pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
