About our film set catering in Hoyle
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when. On the menu are a vegan option, salads and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for long shoot days and crew appreciation lunches.
Rural locations near Hoyle can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Questions from Hoyle
Is Hoyle too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Why choose a hog roast in Hoyle?
For a wrap party, it is a relaxed way to finish. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Served at the time you choose
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Our staff serve and clear
