Slow-roasted pork in Outwood
Film set catering in Outwood, carved to order
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes. Typical bookings include wrap days and rural locations, with rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers.
Rural locations near Outwood can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, daylight in Outwood lasts until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- 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 pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early

Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What affects the price in Outwood
We work out each quote from:
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- The location manager’s agreement
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
