What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Film set catering in Hipley, slow-roasted on site
On a long shoot day near Hipley, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. We serve new potatoes, a vegan option and hog roast rolls, and we’re frequently booked for long shoot days and location days.
For a shoot in a place like Hipley, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
