Film set catering for your shoot in Hatchet Green
Rural and period locations near Hatchet Green can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. On the menu are salads, a vegan option and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for period drama shoots and wrap parties.
For a shoot in a place like Hatchet Green, tracks and soft ground need checking. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Why choose a hog roast in Hatchet Green?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September shoots near Hatchet Green lose the light at about 7:10pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Who books film set catering in Hatchet Green?
It’s hot, filling food after a long morning.
However big or small the event in Hatchet Green, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We are frequently asked to cater:
- Long shoot days
- Crew appreciation lunches
- End-of-shoot wraps
- Ad shoots
Nearby historic houses include Breamore House (2.6 miles west) and Landford Manor (4.2 miles east). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations.
Before booking anyone
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- Who carves and who serves
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Share the allergen list with the crew
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Hatchet Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Hatchet Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you set up at the unit base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit, agreed with locations.
