How our film set catering works in Bramdean
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. Typical bookings include countryside locations and crew appreciation lunches, serving a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
Rural locations near Bramdean can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, sunset near Bramdean is about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Ask for a quote
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
