Film set catering in Bradley, carved to order
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust. For shoots on location and farm and estate locations, we can cook a vegan option, halloumi skewers and salads.
Near Bradley, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Common questions in Bradley
How far is Bradley from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Bradley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you have documents for locations?
Tell us what the production needs, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you work to set times?
That is exactly how we work.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to deliveries, we’re already there when lunch is called. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Bradley hosts choose us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- No surprises: everything in writing
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Access agreed with locations
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- Away from vehicles and equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

A second meat widens the menu.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your shoot in Bradley. Late-September shoots near Bradley lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.

- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Bradley
- Which meats and sides you choose
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking area
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SO24 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for crew who don’t eat pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
