About our film set catering in Holme Green
We liaise with your locations and production team on access, base layout and timings for shoots around Holme Green. We’re frequently asked to cater lunch at base and period locations, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
For a shoot in a place like Holme Green, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with ordering in, we are already there when lunch is called. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Site access

When you enquire, it helps to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- The location manager’s agreement

- Vehicle access to base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Post allergen details at base
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We clear our spot after lunch.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
Holme Green: your questions answered
Is Holme Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Holme Green close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production; share your list and we’ll respond.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you come to Holme Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Holme Green and Wokingham. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In December, daylight in Holme Green ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.

Before we arrive
