If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we will adjust. Typical bookings include period locations and long shoot days, serving halloumi skewers, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Marsh Green can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. On a winter shoot near Marsh Green, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Approval from locations
- A level area at base
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
