How our film set catering works in Boorley Green
On a long shoot day near Boorley Green, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Whether it is wrap days and farm and estate locations, we can cook salads, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
For a location shoot near Boorley Green, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
