Questions from Boxford
Is Boxford close to London?
About 56 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Boxford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you have alternatives?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Film set catering in Boxford, carved to order
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. We serve salads, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater shoots on location and crew appreciation lunches.
Near Boxford, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Sides make a proper lunch.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Access agreed with locations
- A named contact at base
- Shelter for crew
