About our film set catering in Cadnam
On a long shoot day near Cadnam, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We serve a vegan option, new potatoes and salads, and we are often booked for period locations and long days on set.
Near Cadnam, check tracks and ground with locations. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Shelter for crew
- A named contact at base
- A safe distance from kit
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
On the menu in Cadnam
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
- An estimate of numbers
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Post allergen details at base
A cooked roast can wait.
