Film set catering for your shoot in Bucknell
Crews in Bucknell work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We serve spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater rural locations and wrap days.
Rural locations near Bucknell can be a long way from food, 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.

Common questions in Bucknell
Is Bucknell close to London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Bucknell?
The closest is Bicester North station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Not much: a level area at base.
Do you work to set times?
That is exactly how we work, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Summer shoots near Bucknell have light until about 9:30pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.

Working with your venue

Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
