Film set catering in East Horsley, slow-roasted on site
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. Typical bookings include shoots on location and wrap days, serving a vegan option, salads and rotisserie chicken.
Near East Horsley, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We pack away straight after service.
Wrap parties can run into the evening.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September shoots near East Horsley lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
