Film set catering in Begbroke, carved to order
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds plenty of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. We serve hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and a vegan option, and we are regularly asked to cater music video days and extended shoot days.
For a shoot in a place like Begbroke, tracks and soft ground need checking. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

Looking after everyone

- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count crew needing an alternative
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering, for a wrap or a milestone. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- A photo of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.

Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, sunset near Begbroke is about 7:10pm, so plan lights for evening service.
