Film set catering for your shoot in Canada
We liaise with your locations and production team on access, base layout and timings for shoots around Canada. Popular choices include a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we are often booked for rural locations and extended shoot days.
Near Canada, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Late-September shoots near Canada lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.

Why choose a hog roast in Canada?
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Canada: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?

What’s the nearest station to Canada?
The closest is Romsey station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
Can you cater in Canada?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Canada and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you work to the call sheet?
That’s exactly how we work, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Planning for dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Occasions we serve in Canada
We bring everything we need.
We are booked for all kinds of occasions in Canada and nearby. Popular bookings include:
- Wrap parties
- Countryside locations
- Music video days

Nearby historic houses include Landford Manor (2 miles north-west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations.

What affects the price in Canada
We work out each quote from:
