What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-September shoots near Rose Hill lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.

Film set catering in Rose Hill, slow-roasted on site
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. We are often asked to cater rural locations and milestone days on set, with new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
For a shoot in a place like Rose Hill, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

What affects the price in Rose Hill
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

When you contact us, it helps to include:

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
