Film set catering for your shoot in Brooklands
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. For unit base lunches and historic house shoots, we will put together a menu of salads, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls for your crew.
Near Brooklands, base may be a field or yard. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Brooklands ends around 3:55pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
