A hog roast near Holloway
Film set catering in Holloway, slow-roasted on site
Some locations near Holloway are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Typical bookings include wrap parties and commercials and music videos, serving rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads.
For a shoot in a place like Holloway, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Questions from Holloway
Do you come out to small places like Holloway?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Holloway?
The closest is Furze Platt station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs, and we will confirm what we can provide.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to deliveries, we are already there when lunch is called. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
