How our film set catering works in Chesham Bois
Some locations near Chesham Bois are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We are frequently asked to cater location shoots and period drama shoots, serving a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Near Chesham Bois, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Chesham Bois ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
