The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-September shoots near Gunnersbury lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. 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.
