Film set catering in Sulham
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, daylight in Sulham ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Let us know about tight access
- Gather dietary requirements early

We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
