Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering. 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.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

About our film set catering in Cold Harbour
We liaise with your locations and production team on where we set up and when. For extended shoot days and end-of-shoot wraps, we can cook halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls and more.
Rural locations near Cold Harbour can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Cold Harbour
Is Cold Harbour close to London?
About 30 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Cold Harbour?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
At base, on level ground. We will agree it with your location manager.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
