Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for shoots on location and farm and estate locations.
For a shoot in a place like Little Mill, tracks and soft ground need checking. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. On a winter shoot near Little Mill, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
