If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we will adjust. Typical bookings include crew appreciation lunches and period drama shoots, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.
Rural locations near Puckaster can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Puckaster
Is Puckaster too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast near the sea around Puckaster?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you get to rural locations?
Send the location and access notes and we will confirm.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
