How we price a hog roast for the crew
Your quote depends on:

- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Film set catering for your shoot in Michelmersh
Crews in Michelmersh work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Whether it’s historic house shoots and wrap days, we can cook new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Rural locations near Michelmersh can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose
- We bring everything to cook and serve
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. On a winter shoot near Michelmersh, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
