How our film set catering works in Dogmersfield
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we’ll adjust. For wrap parties and countryside locations, we can cook hog roast rolls, a vegan option and salads for your crew.
Rural locations near Dogmersfield can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from kit
- Shelter for crew
- The location manager’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)
- New potatoes

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Dogmersfield
- Time on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Halal isn’t offered
Name a contact for the day.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, daylight in Dogmersfield ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
