Slow-roasted pork in Bartley
Film set catering in Bartley, carved to order
Some locations near Bartley are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Whether it is period locations and music video days, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, a vegan option and salads and more.
Rural locations near Bartley can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
A hog roast or other catering?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
See our pricing and the cost guide.

What we serve, dish by dish

Questions from Bartley
What’s the nearest station to Bartley?
The closest is Ashurst New Forest station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Is Bartley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What does the production need from you?
Every production is different; share your list and we will respond.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.

Can you cater our wrap?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party, with lamb or chicken if you like.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to 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.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
