About our film set catering in Chilton Green
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. For music video days and shoots on location, we can cook new potatoes, hog roast rolls and salads for your crew.
For a shoot in a place like Chilton Green, tracks and soft ground need checking. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. On a winter shoot near Chilton Green, the light goes by about 4:05pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken

Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Planned to your running order
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes
