A hog roast near Tye
Tye: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Tye close to London?
About 60 miles from central London.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you get to rural locations?
We can, given access details. Let us know about the route.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. Locations will confirm the spot.
Film set catering in Tye, carved to order
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when for shoots around Tye. We are often asked to cater rural locations and crew appreciation lunches, serving rotisserie chicken, salads and a vegan option.
Rural locations near Tye can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. By late September, sunset near Tye is about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
