A hog roast near Fleet
About our film set catering in Fleet
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. We serve hog roast rolls, salads and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for wrap days and location shoots.
Shoots in Fleet often base in car parks. A hog roast suits any of them. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some crew will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal is not offered
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
Ask about china.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

What else we do in Fleet
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Your quote depends on:
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every shoot is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with ordering in, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- No surprises: everything in writing
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Late-September shoots near Fleet lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- 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.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
