About our film set catering in Bramshill
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. Whether it is unit base lunches and music video days, we can cook spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and new potatoes.
Near Bramshill, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers

FAQs for Bramshill
Is Bramshill too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Wellington Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Do you go to remote locations?
Generally, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.

What paperwork do you provide?
Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Planning the cooking spot

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.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
