How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, daylight in Upper Arncott ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
