Carterton questions
Is Carterton close to London?
About 67 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you need much space at base?
At base, on level ground. Locations will confirm the spot.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How our film set catering works in Carterton
Crews in Carterton 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. Typical bookings include long shoot days and music video days, serving a vegan option, halloumi skewers and salads.
Shoots in Carterton frequently base in car parks. A hog roast suits any of them. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We pack away straight after service.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Shelter for crew
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- A safe distance from kit
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the roaster
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
