A hog roast near Hascombe
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Film set catering in Hascombe, carved to order
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. For extended shoot days and wrap days, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, salads and a vegan option.
Near Hascombe, check tracks and ground with locations. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Hascombe
- The number of people
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules

- Your menu choices
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At the end of a shoot, it’s a relaxed way to finish. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Hascombe hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Served at the time you choose

Questions from Hascombe
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Hascombe?
The closest is Milford (Surrey) station, roughly 3 miles away.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In December, daylight in Hascombe ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
How to get a price
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
