Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your crew, with crackling for everyone who wants it. On a winter shoot near Well Head, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. 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.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Time on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people

For event organisers in Well Head
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Halal isn’t offered
Name a contact for the day, usually locations or the production office.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A contact in production
