Film set catering in Hollington, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Hollington, 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. Typical bookings include crew appreciation lunches and ad shoots, with a vegan option, hog roast rolls and new potatoes.
Rural locations near Hollington can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering, for a wrap or a milestone. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
A cooked roast can wait.
China crockery is available on request.
