Slow-roasted pork in Henley-on-Thames
About our film set catering in Henley-on-Thames
Rural and period locations near Henley-on-Thames can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We’re often asked to cater location shoots and unit base lunches, serving rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
For a location shoot near Henley-on-Thames, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
