How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
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.

Film set catering for your shoot in Throwley
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. We serve new potatoes, hog roast rolls and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater shoots on location and period drama shoots.
Near Throwley, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Shelter for crew
- Sign-off from the location
- One contact for the day
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve quickly on the call.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
