Film set catering in Gundleton, carved to order
Some locations near Gundleton are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. We serve salads, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option, and we’re frequently booked for extended shoot days and period locations.
Rural locations near Gundleton can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, slowly, over several hours.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Because the roast starts early, and in December Gundleton is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and 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.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Gundleton: your questions answered
Is Gundleton close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Gundleton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you have documents for locations?
Send us your requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
