Film set catering in Knightwood
How we price a hog roast for the crew
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
