Film set catering in Fyfield, carved to order
Some locations near Fyfield are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We are frequently asked to cater milestone days on set and rural locations, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Near Fyfield, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why book with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Fyfield?
Grateley station, about 3.7 miles south-west of the centre.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you do wrap parties?
Of course. Send us the details.

There is no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
