Slow-roasted pork in East Clandon
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Serving and clearing done for you

Looking after everyone
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label the alternatives clearly
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In December, daylight in East Clandon ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- 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
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
