Film set catering in Combe, carved to order
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, with allergen details for everything. Typical bookings include period drama shoots and ad shoots, with a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
Rural locations near Combe can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a wrap party, a hog roast feels like a reward. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Timed around your day

Questions from Combe
What’s the nearest station to Combe?
Combe station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
How far is Combe from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
For event organisers in Combe
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Where the roaster can go in Combe
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A covered eating area
- A safe distance from kit
- Flat ground at the unit base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
