Film set catering for Cothill
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Film set catering in Cothill, slow-roasted on site
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. Typical bookings include lunch at base and countryside locations, serving salads, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option.
Near Cothill, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan crew can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
Send us the date, the address or OX13 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
