Film set catering for your shoot in Hambledon
Rural and period locations near Hambledon can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. Whether it’s music video days and lunch at base, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, hog roast rolls and salads for your crew.
Rural locations near Hambledon can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Hambledon ends around 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Name a contact for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Post allergen details at base
- Request gluten-free rolls
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.

Hambledon questions
Is Hambledon close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Hambledon?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
