See our prices page or the cost guide.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Planning a shoot in White City
White City is about 1 mile north-west of Kensington, in Greater London. We bring a hog roast for the crew to shoots anywhere in White City, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.

Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we’ll confirm.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, daylight in White City ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
