How we price a hog roast for the crew
Your quote depends on:
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The address or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Film set catering in Witney, carved to order
Whatever the production, we fit around the call sheet. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater long shoot days and location days.
For a shoot in Witney, tell us where base is and how to reach it, and we’ll plan the route. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
