Film set catering in Cassington, carved to order
Crews in Cassington work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and a vegan option, and we’re regularly asked to cater unit base lunches and shoots on location.
Rural locations near Cassington can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Cassington
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Served at the time you choose
Take a look at our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Cassington ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
