A hog roast near Heckfield
Film set catering in Heckfield, carved to order
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes. Typical bookings include long days on set and crew thank-you days, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
For a shoot in a place like Heckfield, tracks and soft ground need checking. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Label the alternatives clearly
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Summer shoots near Heckfield have light until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day

Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
