Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Film set catering in Hitchambury, slow-roasted on site
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Name a contact in production and we will fit around changes. We’re often asked to cater rural locations and wrap days, with spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Near Hitchambury, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed

What a hog roast costs

- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
