Film set catering for your shoot in Culverstone Green
Crews in Culverstone Green work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. For commercials and music videos and period locations, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, hog roast rolls and salads for your crew.
Rural locations near Culverstone Green can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Culverstone Green ends around 3:50pm.

Culverstone Green: your questions answered
Is Culverstone Green close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast in Trosley Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
The menu, dish by dish

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

When you enquire, please mention:
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
