Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Post allergen details at base
- Tell us who does not eat pork
We clear our spot after lunch.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Film set catering for your shoot in Timsbury
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust. Typical bookings include base catering and wrap parties, with spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and a vegan option.
For a shoot in a place like Timsbury, tracks and soft ground need checking. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, daylight in Timsbury ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Planned to your running order
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Serving and clearing done for you
