A hog roast near Enstone
Film set catering in Enstone, slow-roasted on site
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for milestone days on set and long shoot days.
Near Enstone, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What about locations off the beaten track?

We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-September shoots near Enstone lose the light at about 7:10pm, 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 pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
