If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We clear our spot after lunch.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. On a winter shoot near Woolton Hill, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
