Film set catering in Garlinge Green
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- An itemised quote
- Timed around your day
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Film set catering in Garlinge Green, carved to order
Rural and period locations near Garlinge Green can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We are often asked to cater location days and period drama shoots, with halloumi skewers, a vegan option and hog roast rolls.
For a shoot in a place like Garlinge Green, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Here’s what affects the price:
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The address or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
