Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Timed around your day
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Tell us who does not eat pork
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A level area at base
- One contact for the day
- Sign-off from the location
As a London location, Wallend is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Because the roast starts early, and in December Wallend is dark by about 3:50pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Let us know about tight access
