How our film set catering works in Aldershot
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Whether it is unit base lunches and period drama shoots, we can cook a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers for your crew.
In Aldershot, send us the base location. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
A second meat widens the menu.

Planning help
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Planned to your running order
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
Read our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access to base
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- A level area at base
