A hog roast near Chute Forest
Film set catering for your shoot in Chute Forest
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. Typical bookings include extended shoot days and wrap days, with rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb.
For a shoot in a place like Chute Forest, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, daylight in Chute Forest lasts until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Chute Forest
Is Chute Forest too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Chute Forest?
Andover station, about 4.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you need much space at base?
Generally, if there’s a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
