Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Film set catering in The Mint, slow-roasted on site
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Typical bookings include crew thank-you days and historic house shoots, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
For a shoot in a place like The Mint, tracks and soft ground need checking. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Sign-off from the location
- A named contact at base
- A safe distance from kit
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Halal isn’t offered
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We work to the location’s rules.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to deliveries, we’re already there when lunch is called. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, daylight in The Mint ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
