About our film set catering in Hill End
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Typical bookings include lunch at base and milestone days on set, serving a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
Near Hill End, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours.

Why choose a hog roast in Hill End?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Carved to order by a chef
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- We bring everything to cook and serve
See our pricing and the cost guide.
Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Hill End
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
When you contact us, please mention:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Post allergen details at base
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.

Common questions in Hill End
Can you do a hog roast in The Green?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Hill End?
Rickmansworth station, about 1.9 miles north of the centre.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you need much space at base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit, agreed with locations.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we will plan the journey.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
