About our film set catering in Hatch Warren
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. Whether it is commercials and music videos and unit base lunches, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb and more.
For a location shoot near Hatch Warren, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Because the roast starts early, and in December Hatch Warren is dark by about 4:00pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

How big a hog will we need?

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 if things run late?
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.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- The location manager’s agreement
- One contact for the day
- A covered eating area

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
