Film set catering in Barton Stacey, slow-roasted on site
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Name a contact in production and we will fit around changes. We’re frequently asked to cater extended shoot days and music video days, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option.
For a shoot in a place like Barton Stacey, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- All the equipment comes with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Barton Stacey
Do you come out to small places like Barton Stacey?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Barton Stacey?

Can you work to the call sheet?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Barton Stacey ends around 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
