Book a hog roast in Durlock
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Durlock is dark by about 3:50pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

About our film set catering in Durlock
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and a vegan option, and typical bookings are for crew thank-you days and wrap parties.
Rural locations near Durlock can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
