How our film set catering works in Canons Park
Rural and period locations near Canons Park can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. Whether it is lunch at base and countryside locations, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken and more.
In Canons Park, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

What about crew who do not eat pork?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
