Slow-roasted pork in Funtley
Film set catering in Funtley, carved to order
Crews in Funtley work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We serve halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and salads, and typical bookings are for period locations and base catering.
For a shoot in a place like Funtley, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
