Slow-roasted pork in Bramley Green
How our film set catering works in Bramley Green
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, with allergen details for everything. We are often asked to cater rural locations and ad shoots, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads.
Near Bramley Green, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Crockery choices
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually 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.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.

Working with your venue

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
