How our film set catering works in Bilsham
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes. For location shoots and music video days, we will put together a menu of salads, a vegan option and hog roast rolls and more.
Near Bilsham, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with ordering in, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- No surprises: everything in writing
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Bilsham
Do you come out to small places like Bilsham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we’ll confirm.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
