Film set catering for your shoot in Askett
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Typical bookings include end-of-shoot wraps and historic house shoots, serving spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and salads.
Near Askett, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. By late September, sunset near Askett is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or HP27 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
For event organisers in Askett
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Askett questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Askett?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you get to rural locations?
Share the route to base and we’ll confirm.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Access agreed with locations
- Away from vehicles and equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
