Film set catering for South Moreton
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, daylight in South Moreton ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
For event organisers in South Moreton
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.
Marquee hire companies often 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.
