How our film set catering works in Dunton

How we price a hog roast for the crew
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

For event organisers in Dunton
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who does not eat pork
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Sign-off from the location
- A named contact at base
- Away from vehicles and equipment
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Dunton: your questions answered
Is Dunton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Dunton close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to Dunton?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Can you cater our wrap?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. In December, daylight in Dunton ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
