For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. We’re frequently asked to cater lunch at base and ad shoots, serving new potatoes, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Iping can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A hog roast compared with other options
At the end of a shoot, a hog roast feels like a reward. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

- Planned to your running order

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Halal is not offered
- Count crew needing an alternative
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
China crockery is available on request.

Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.

Common questions in Iping
What’s the nearest station to Iping?
Liphook station, about 5 miles north of the centre.
How far is Iping from London?
About 46 miles from central London.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Shelter for crew
- Vehicle access to base
- A level spot at base for the roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
