The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your crew, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. On a winter shoot near Great Kimble, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Name a contact for the day
