We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads, and typical bookings are for milestone days on set and countryside locations.
For a shoot in a place like West Burton, tracks and soft ground need checking. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- Whether you want china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the cooking area
- Where the event is
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A route for our vehicle
- Shelter for crew
- A contact in production
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you work to the call sheet?
That’s exactly how we work.
