Film set catering in Buckingham, slow-roasted on site
Rural and period locations near Buckingham can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. For location days and end-of-shoot wraps, we can cook spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and salads and more.
In a town like Buckingham, unit bases are often in car parks, school grounds or yards. A hog roast suits any of them. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Buckingham
Is Buckingham close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
