What we serve, dish by dish

Some crew will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Questions from Owlsmoor
Could you cook in Edgbarrow Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Owlsmoor?
Sandhurst station, about 1.1 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cater our wrap?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. We will agree it with your location manager.
Can you get to rural locations?
Generally, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Give us one contact in production, typically locations or the production office.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. On a winter shoot near Owlsmoor, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Name a contact for the day
