- A contact in production
- Access agreed with locations
- Shelter for crew
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Share the allergen list with the crew
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Sidley
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
