Slow-roasted pork in Eversley
Film set catering for your shoot in Eversley
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. For unit base lunches and countryside locations, we can cook hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken for your crew.
Near Eversley, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. On a winter shoot near Eversley, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Eversley: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Eversley?
Crowthorne station, about 3.1 miles east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to deliveries, we’re already there when lunch is called. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Read our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Sides make a proper lunch.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel to Eversley
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- Time on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The venue or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Shelter for crew
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Vehicle access to base
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Organising for someone else?

- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
