What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
About our film set catering in Hazel Street
Crew numbers can be large, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Whether it’s milestone days on set and wrap parties, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Hazel Street can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- We bring everything to cook and serve

- A covered eating area
- One contact for the day
- A safe distance from kit
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Late-September shoots near Hazel Street lose the light at about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- 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.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
