How we price a hog roast for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or RG26 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
About our film set catering in Monk Sherborne
Some locations near Monk Sherborne are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. For commercials and music videos and extended shoot days, we can cook hog roast rolls, a vegan option and halloumi skewers for your crew.
Near Monk Sherborne, check tracks and ground with locations. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A level area at base
- A named contact at base
- Access agreed with locations
