About our film set catering in Bramshaw
Crews can be big, and carving feeds plenty of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. We serve new potatoes, salads and a vegan option, and we are regularly asked to cater unit base lunches and period locations.
Near Bramshaw, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Summer shoots near Bramshaw have light until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Common questions in Bramshaw
Is Bramshaw too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
