About our film set catering in Henhurst
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Whether it’s lunch at base and long days on set, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Near Henhurst, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

How it works

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some crew will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Name a contact for the day, generally locations or the production office.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
