A hog roast near Exton
Film set catering for your shoot in Exton
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. On the menu are hog roast rolls, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for milestone days on set and countryside locations.
For a shoot in a place like Exton, tracks and soft ground need checking. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for halal if needed
A cooked roast can wait.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your crew, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In December, daylight in Exton ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
