A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal is not offered
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
Give us one contact in production, usually locations or the production office.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:

- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- A level area at base

Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. In December, daylight in Hadley ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
