Film set catering in Clayton, slow-roasted on site
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. We’re frequently asked to cater end-of-shoot wraps and base catering, serving spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
For a shoot in a place like Clayton, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

A hog roast or other catering?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book our hog roast in Clayton
- An itemised quote
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
See our prices page and the cost guide.
What affects the price in Clayton
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

How far is Clayton from London?

Which station is closest to Clayton?
The closest is Hassocks station, roughly 1 mile away.
Do you have documents for locations?
Send us your requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you do wrap parties?
Of course. Send us the details.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Count crew needing an alternative
We serve quickly on the call.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
