Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Spit-roast lamb

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
