Film set catering in Hattingley, carved to order
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. We serve new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we’re frequently booked for location days and commercials and music videos.
For a shoot in a place like Hattingley, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Why choose film set catering in Hattingley?
A slow roast can wait a little.
However big or small the event in Hattingley, a slow roast goes a long way. We are frequently asked to cater:
- Crew appreciation lunches
- Base catering
- Music video days
- Rural locations
Among the historic houses close to Hattingley are Bentworth Hall (1.9 miles north-east) and Hall Place (2.2 miles north-east). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
Send us the date, the address or GU34 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
