What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: use our quote form.
How our film set catering works in Middleton Stoney
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes. We serve rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for historic house shoots and end-of-shoot wraps.
For a shoot in a place like Middleton Stoney, tracks and soft ground need checking. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We clear our spot after lunch.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
