About our film set catering in Aldworth
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. On the menu are salads, halloumi skewers and a vegan option, and typical bookings are for location shoots and unit base lunches.
Rural locations near Aldworth can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What affects the price in Aldworth
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Travel to Aldworth
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
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
When you contact us, please mention:
- A photo of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Questions from Aldworth
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Aldworth?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
That’s exactly how we work, holding the roast if lunch moves.

Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party, with lamb or chicken if you like.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.

Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Sides make a proper lunch.
