Film set catering for your shoot in Ashurst
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, with allergen details for everything. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for commercials and music videos and location shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Ashurst, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Common questions in Ashurst
Is Ashurst too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Ashurst from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
