Film set catering for your shoot in Bledlow
Some locations near Bledlow are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We serve halloumi skewers, new potatoes and salads, and typical bookings are for long days on set and ad shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Bledlow, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

Other occasions in Bledlow
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Post allergen details at base
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We pack away straight after service.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In December, daylight in Bledlow ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
