About our film set catering in Hammer
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes. On the menu are new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater lunch at base and music video days.
For a shoot in a place like Hammer, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why book our hog roast in Hammer
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
See our pricing or the cost guide.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
- A picture of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, the address or GU27 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
