Film set catering in Eddington, carved to order
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Typical bookings include location days and ad shoots, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads.
For a location shoot near Eddington, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-September shoots near Eddington lose the light at about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Think about shelter for your crew

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
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:
- A safe distance from kit
- The location manager’s agreement
- A route for our vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Halal is not offered
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Give us one contact in production, normally locations or the production office.
