Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Common questions in Weeke
How far is Weeke from London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast in St. Cross Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you need much space at base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
What does the production need from you?
Requirements vary by production.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
