Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Film set catering in Chilson, slow-roasted on site
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. For countryside locations and wrap parties, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option and more.
For a shoot in a place like Chilson, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Fresh carving at the serving station
