Film set catering in Emberton, carved to order
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when. We are frequently asked to cater rural locations and commercials and music videos, serving a vegan option, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Near Emberton, check tracks and ground with locations. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Emberton: your questions answered
Is Emberton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Emberton close to London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you go to remote locations?
Normally, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
