How we price a hog roast for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Film set catering in South Godstone, carved to order
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when for shoots around South Godstone. Whether it is farm and estate locations and location days, we will put together a menu of a vegan option, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Near South Godstone, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
For event organisers in South Godstone
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Shelter for crew
- Access agreed with locations
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
