What a hog roast costs

- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Crockery choices

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Post allergen details at base
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
We work to the location’s rules.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Summer shoots near Wapping have light until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
