The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. On a winter shoot near Whitsbury, the light goes by about 4:05pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Whether it is historic house shoots and end-of-shoot wraps, we can cook halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Rural locations near Whitsbury can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
