Film set catering in Bishopstone, slow-roasted on site
On a long shoot day near Bishopstone, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We serve a vegan option, salads and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for period drama shoots and farm and estate locations.
Near Bishopstone, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. 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.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
