Film set catering for your shoot in Hatford
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. Popular choices include a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for historic house shoots and crew thank-you days.
Rural locations near Hatford can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Hatford
Do you come out to small places like Hatford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Hatford close to London?
About 62 miles from central London.
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 work to the call sheet?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
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.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.

- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
Give us one contact in production.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Hatford ends around 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
