Film set catering in Buckland, slow-roasted on site
Some locations near Buckland are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Typical bookings include commercials and music videos and wrap days, serving new potatoes, salads and hog roast rolls.
Near Buckland, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Buckland
Which station is closest to Buckland?
Betchworth station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Buckland?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At midsummer, daylight in Buckland lasts until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
