Film set catering for your shoot in Highcliffe
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we are frequently booked for countryside locations and ad shoots.
Near Highcliffe, base may be a field or yard. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Highcliffe is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Tell us the base location.

Before we arrive
