Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- An itemised quote
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Film set catering in Weddington, slow-roasted on site
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, with allergen details for everything. We serve hog roast rolls, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater shoots on location and countryside locations.
For a shoot in a place like Weddington, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. On a winter shoot near Weddington, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
