Slow-roasted pork in Hambrook
Film set catering for your shoot in Hambrook
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. For wrap days and music video days, we will put together a menu of salads, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Rural locations near Hambrook can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Hambrook questions
Is Hambrook too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Hambrook?
The closest is Nutbourne station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
- Travel to Hambrook
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture

What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, daylight in Hambrook ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
