Slow-roasted pork in Southborough
About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Film set catering for your shoot in Southborough
Rural and period locations near Southborough can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. For historic house shoots and commercials and music videos, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and new potatoes.
Shoots in Southborough often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In December, daylight in Southborough ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Southborough hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Served at the time you choose
- A choice of salads and potatoes

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
