Film set catering for Comp
How our film set catering works in Comp
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust. We are often asked to cater rural locations and base catering, serving rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and salads.
Near Comp, check tracks and ground with locations. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Which station is closest to Comp?

Can we just hire the roaster?

How we price a hog roast for the crew
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- Distance from us
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
If you are comparing hog roast caterers for Comp, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We pack away straight after service.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Step by step
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your shoot. In December, daylight in Comp ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Ask for a quote
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a wrap party, a hog roast feels like a reward. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
