Film set catering in Crosspost, carved to order
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. For long shoot days and music video days, we can cook new potatoes, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb and more.
Rural locations near Crosspost can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

What else we do in Crosspost
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Halal is not offered
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
A cooked roast can wait.
Ask about china, quoted separately.

How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
What space does the roaster need?

Can you work to the call sheet?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we’ll adjust where we can.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In December, daylight in Crosspost ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us a contact number for the day
