Film set catering for Holybourne
How our film set catering works in Holybourne
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we’ll fit around changes. We serve a vegan option, new potatoes and salads, and typical bookings are for crew thank-you days and music video days.
Rural locations near Holybourne can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September shoots near Holybourne lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Every shoot is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: use our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
A second meat widens the menu.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A named contact at base
- Vehicle access to base
- Sign-off from the location
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
