How our film set catering works in Bisham
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, with allergen details for everything. For period drama shoots and location shoots, we can cook hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option for your crew.
Near Bisham, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

What affects the price in Bisham
We work out each quote from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- Plates or china
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
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
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. Send us your details through our quote form.
Questions from Bisham
Is Bisham close to London?
About 30 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Bisham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- One contact for the day
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- A safe distance from kit
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Give us one contact in production.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with ordering in, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Our staff serve and clear

- Sides to make it a full meal
