Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Winford
Is Winford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast near the sea around Winford?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you cater our wrap?
Of course. Tell us the date and location.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
At base, on level ground. We will agree it with your location manager.
Film set catering in Winford, slow-roasted on site

For a shoot in a place like Winford, tracks and soft ground need checking. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
