About our film set catering in Fingest
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. For lunch at base and crew appreciation lunches, we can cook salads, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes and more.
Near Fingest, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours.

Common questions in Fingest
Which station is closest to Fingest?
Saunderton station, about 4.8 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Fingest too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
What about a wrap party?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to deliveries, we are already there when lunch is called. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
