Book a hog roast in Brimpton Common
How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September shoots near Brimpton Common lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Film set catering in Brimpton Common, slow-roasted on site
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust. We’re frequently asked to cater crew appreciation lunches and end-of-shoot wraps, with new potatoes, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.
Rural locations near Brimpton Common can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
