What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
How our film set catering works in The Hale
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, with allergen details for everything. For milestone days on set and period drama shoots, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and a vegan option for your crew.
London locations around The Hale can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in The Hale ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
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, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: use our quote form.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
