About our film set catering in Green Street Green
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. Whether it’s period drama shoots and countryside locations, we can cook a vegan option, salads and rotisserie chicken for your crew.
Near Green Street Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Questions from Green Street Green
Do you come out to small places like Green Street Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Beacon Wood Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production; share your list and we will respond.
What about a wrap party?
We do.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Sides make a proper lunch.
