Slow-roasted pork in Brimpton
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

Film set catering in Brimpton, slow-roasted on site
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Whether it’s period drama shoots and crew thank-you days, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, new potatoes and halloumi skewers for your crew.
Near Brimpton, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
