How we price a hog roast for the crew
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Your menu choices
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, the address or KT12 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
About our film set catering in Whiteley Village
Some locations near Whiteley Village are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Typical bookings include crew thank-you days and lunch at base, serving new potatoes, hog roast rolls and a vegan option.
Rural locations near Whiteley Village can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Fresh carving at the serving station

The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Whiteley Village is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
