Film set catering in Cop Street, carved to order
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we will fit around changes. Whether it’s base catering and historic house shoots, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers for your crew.
Near Cop Street, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.

We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Cop Street hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved to order by a chef

How we price a hog roast for the crew
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every shoot is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: send us your details through our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan crew can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
