Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At the end of a shoot, a hog roast feels like a reward. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Step by step

- 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 pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
