Slow-roasted pork in Founthill
Film set catering for your shoot in Founthill
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. We serve hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and salads, and we are often booked for long shoot days and period locations.
Rural locations near Founthill can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or BN8 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
