Slow-roasted pork in Goring
Film set catering in Goring, carved to order
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust. We’re frequently asked to cater farm and estate locations and location days, with spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Near Goring, base may be a field or yard. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. On a winter shoot near Goring, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
