About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.

- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A choice of salads and potatoes
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
What affects the price in Tangmere
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
