A closer look at the menu
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
We do not use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. On a winter shoot near Funtington, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Why book with us
