Film set catering in Bouldnor, carved to order
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings for shoots around Bouldnor. Whether it’s ad shoots and period drama shoots, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and a vegan option and more.
Rural locations near Bouldnor can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In December, daylight in Bouldnor ends around 4:05pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Send final numbers in good time
- Gather dietary requirements early

Why choose a hog roast in Bouldnor?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
