- One contact for the day
- The location manager’s agreement
- Shelter for crew

- Rotisserie chicken

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering, for a wrap or a milestone. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Offington hosts choose us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Our staff serve and clear
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In December, daylight in Offington ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
