Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Crew numbers can be large, and carving serves a crowd fast. Add sides for a full meal. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for long shoot days and historic house shoots.
For a location shoot near Durrington, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Your date and serving time
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
- A photo of the cooking area
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. Late-September shoots near Durrington lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
