About our film set catering in Chalfont Common
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Typical bookings include commercials and music videos and crew thank-you days, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Rural locations near Chalfont Common can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. 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.

Planning for dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Post allergen details at base
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Chalfont Common
Do you come out to small places like Chalfont Common?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Chalfont Common close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you need much space at base?
Typically, if there’s a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- Sign-off from the location
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. On a winter shoot near Chalfont Common, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
