Film set catering for your shoot in Gosport
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. On the menu are halloumi skewers, a vegan option and salads, and we are often booked for period drama shoots and music video days.
In a town like Gosport, unit bases are often in car parks, school grounds or yards. A hog roast suits any of them. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Gosport is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early

Planning help
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Post allergen details at base
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Gosport
Is Gosport close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you work to set times?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will be ready.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you set up at the unit base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit, agreed with locations.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
