Film set catering in Clap Hill, carved to order
Rural and period locations near Clap Hill can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Whether it is period locations and crew appreciation lunches, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken for your crew.
Near Clap Hill, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Count crew needing an alternative
We work to the location’s rules.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
We work out each quote from:
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

FAQs for Clap Hill
Is Clap Hill close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in Poulton Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
