A hog roast near Alfold
Film set catering in Alfold, slow-roasted on site
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for historic house shoots and location days.
Rural locations near Alfold can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September shoots near Alfold lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Let us know about tight access

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
