From commercials to long-form drama, we fit around the call sheet. Whether it is location days and historic house shoots, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan option, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers for your crew.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why Newchapel hosts choose us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- All the equipment comes with us
- Timed around your day
Read our prices page or what a hog roast costs.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In December, daylight in Newchapel ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

How we price a hog roast for the crew
There is no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- Travel to Newchapel
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
