Foxendown: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Foxendown?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Camer Park Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you go to remote locations?
Send the location and access notes and we will confirm.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Film set catering in Foxendown, slow-roasted on site
Rural and period locations near Foxendown can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater crew thank-you days and music video days.
Near Foxendown, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, sunset near Foxendown is about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Post allergen details at base
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
A cooked roast can wait.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
