Film set catering for your shoot in Gawcott
Rural and period locations near Gawcott can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We are often asked to cater countryside locations and wrap days, serving a vegan option, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
Near Gawcott, check tracks and ground with locations. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
The biggest factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Count crew needing an alternative
Give us one contact in production, generally locations or the production office.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why Gawcott hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A clear quote with everything listed

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, daylight in Gawcott lasts until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Name a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
