Film set catering for Greenhill
Film set catering in Greenhill, carved to order
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. Typical bookings include wrap days and ad shoots, serving new potatoes, salads and a vegan option.
Shoots around Greenhill often use houses, farms and lanes. Let us know about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Why choose a hog roast in Greenhill?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Greenhill hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Our staff serve and clear
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
See our pricing or the cost guide.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Because the roast starts early, and in December Greenhill is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.

Greenhill: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Greenhill?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Could you cook in Curtis Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you need much space at base?
Not much: a level area at base.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A route for our vehicle
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- Approval from locations
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Things that change the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
