What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Film set catering for your shoot in Beedon
Crews can be big, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. Whether it’s crew thank-you days and long shoot days, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken.
Rural locations near Beedon can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

Beedon questions
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Beedon too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we are on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
