Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Served at the time you choose
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Read how we price or the cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A level area at base
- A named contact at base
- Away from vehicles and equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How it works

- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
