From commercials to long-form drama, we work to your schedule. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for location shoots and period locations.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Share the allergen list with the crew

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
A hog roast compared with other options

Common questions in Hale
Is Hale too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What about a wrap party?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September shoots near Hale lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
