Everton for film and TV crews
Everton is about 2 miles south-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Our roaster is a regular sight at shoots around Everton. Everton is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Everton to Southampton (about 15 miles away).
Everton is within about 5 miles of the New Forest National Park, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about cooking and vehicles. With the sea within about 3 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will eat.
We bring hog roasts to shoots all over SO41 and the streets around it. Your shoot could be at a house on Old Christchurch Road, Westfield Gardens and Laburnum Drive or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. If your venue is just outside Everton, we also cover Lymore (1 mile south), Milford on Sea (1 mile south), Pennington (1 mile east), Lower Pennington (2 miles east) and Keyhaven (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Totton (13 miles north), Hythe (12 miles north-east), New Milton (3 miles west), Ringwood (11 miles north-west), Warsash (15 miles north-east) and Barton on Sea (3 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Yarmouth Castle (4.8 miles south-east) and St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (2.3 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Milford on Sea LNR.
- Local schools include Priestlands School (1.7 miles east)
- Nearby, you will find The Crown Public House (under half a mile east)
The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your shoot. On a winter shoot near Everton, the light goes by about 4:05pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Think about shelter for your crew

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
