Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
- Planned to your running order
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

About our film set catering in Boughton Aluph
Crews in Boughton Aluph work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We are often asked to cater commercials and music videos and wrap parties, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
For a shoot in a place like Boughton Aluph, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Post allergen details at base
- Halal is not offered
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Ask about china, quoted separately.

Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
