Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Sides make a proper lunch.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Access agreed with locations
- A level area at base
- Sign-off from the location
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Risinghurst
Could you cook in Stansfeld Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Risinghurst?
Oxford station, about 3.5 miles west of the centre.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Not much: a level area at base.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll be ready.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
