How film set catering works in Oxfordshire

There are options for crew who do not eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and hog roast rolls, and we’re frequently booked for period locations and milestone days on set.

A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day.

Prices in Oxfordshire

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Locations across Oxfordshire

Locations across Oxfordshire range from streets and industrial sites in Oxford, Banbury and Didcot to farms and lanes in its villages. We need a level, open spot at base. The Chilterns National Landscape and the North Wessex Downs National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Oxfordshire, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.

Oxford: For crew arriving by train, the nearest station is Oxford station, about 1.6 miles west. Within reach of Oxford are historic houses such as Holywell Manor, Oxford (0.8 miles north-west) and Garsington Manor (4.1 miles south-east). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property. Late-September shoots near Oxford lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.

Allergies and dietary needs

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:

Request gluten-free rolls
Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Keep vegetarian food labelled
