Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September shoots near Peaslake lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
