What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- All the equipment comes with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Planned to your running order

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers

- Count crew needing an alternative

We serve quickly on the call.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Summer shoots near Poyle have light until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
