Film set catering in Henton
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Planned to your running order

Film set catering in Henton, slow-roasted on site
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Whether it’s rural locations and historic house shoots, we can cook a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
Rural locations near Henton can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. By late September, sunset near Henton is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.

- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Think about shelter for your crew
