Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
About our film set catering in Hempton
From commercials to long-form drama, we work to your schedule. For long shoot days and rural locations, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers for your crew.
For a shoot in a place like Hempton, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What affects the price in Hempton
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Hempton hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A clear quote with everything listed
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
