About our film set catering in Gosport
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. Whether it is crew thank-you days and long days on set, we will put together a menu of a vegan option, salads and halloumi skewers.
Near Gosport, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Common questions in Gosport
What’s the nearest station to Gosport?
Chandlers Ford station, about 2.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Gosport too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What about a wrap party?
Of course. Tell us the date and location.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
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.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- A picture of the cooking area
- Your date and serving time
- The address or postcode
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
