Film set catering in Bobbing, slow-roasted on site
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. Typical bookings include farm and estate locations and end-of-shoot wraps, serving new potatoes, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken.
Rural locations near Bobbing can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Why choose a hog roast in Bobbing?
For a wrap party, a hog roast feels like a reward. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- One contact for the day
- A route for our vehicle
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- Any venue rules
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: fill in our quote form.
