Film set catering for your shoot in Chilbolton
We liaise with your locations and production team on access, base layout and timings. For historic house shoots and crew thank-you days, we will put together a menu of salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
Near Chilbolton, check tracks and ground with locations. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
For event organisers in Chilbolton
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why choose a hog roast in Chilbolton?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
