Film set catering for your shoot in Cheriton
Crews can be big, and carving feeds plenty of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and salads, and typical bookings are for music video days and farm and estate locations.
Rural locations near Cheriton can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Why choose a hog roast in Cheriton?
Compared with ordering in, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. On a winter shoot near Cheriton, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
