Slow-roasted pork in Chiddingfold

Film set catering in Chiddingfold, carved to order
Crews in Chiddingfold work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Whether it is rural locations and ad shoots, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, a vegan option and halloumi skewers.
Near Chiddingfold, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Chiddingfold hosts choose us
- Timed around your day
- An itemised quote
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. On a winter shoot near Chiddingfold, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
Getting a price

Planning help
How we price a hog roast for the crew
There is no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Chiddingfold
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Chiddingfold
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
We clear our spot after lunch.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Where the roaster can go in Chiddingfold
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A contact in production
