About our film set catering in Bunce Common
Crews can be big, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. We’re frequently asked to cater historic house shoots and location days, with spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Near Bunce Common, check tracks and ground with locations. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Bunce Common
Is Bunce Common too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Inholms Clay Pit?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
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.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
