About our film set catering in Crofton
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. We are often asked to cater period drama shoots and countryside locations, serving halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Near Crofton, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.

FAQs for Crofton
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Crofton close to London?
About 67 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, daylight in Crofton ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
