Film set catering for your shoot in Harestock
On a long shoot day near Harestock, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for location shoots and milestone days on set.
Around Harestock, locations can be rural. Let us know about access. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.

Common questions in Harestock
Is Harestock close to London?
About 61 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Harestock?
The closest is Winchester station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Post allergen details at base
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Wrap parties can run into the evening.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Vehicle access to base
- The location manager’s agreement
- A named contact at base
