Book a hog roast in Morestead
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. On a winter shoot near Morestead, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Name a contact for the day
- Send final numbers in good time

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
