Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
About our film set catering in Forest Hill
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Whether it is farm and estate locations and unit base lunches, we will put together a menu of a vegan option, salads and new potatoes.
In Forest Hill, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will arrange our position, frequently with council permission. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. On a winter shoot near Forest Hill, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Planned to your running order
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
