Film set catering for your shoot in Chilworth
Whatever the production, we fit around the call sheet. We serve a vegan option, hog roast rolls and salads, and we are often booked for period locations and crew thank-you days.
Rural locations near Chilworth can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Chilworth
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How far is Chilworth from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Share the route to base and we’ll confirm.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production; share your list and we will respond.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-September shoots near Chilworth lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
