Film set catering in Gerrards Cross, carved to order
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, with allergen details for everything. On the menu are halloumi skewers, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater period drama shoots and commercials and music videos.
For a location shoot near Gerrards Cross, base might be in a field or farmyard. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Common questions in Gerrards Cross
Could you cook in Bulstrode Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Gerrards Cross?
Gerrards Cross station, in Gerrards Cross itself.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you get to rural locations?
Share the route to base and we will confirm.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you set up at the unit base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label the alternatives clearly
Give us one contact in production, typically locations or the production office.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- One contact for the day
- The location manager’s agreement
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Gerrards Cross hosts choose us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
