Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
