Film set catering in Hungerford, carved to order
Crews in Hungerford work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. For shoots on location and period locations, we will put together a menu of a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes and more.
Near Hungerford, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
Give us one contact in production.

Common questions in Hungerford
Is Hungerford 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.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How far ahead 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’ll check.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Why choose film set catering in Hungerford?
Alternatives cover everyone.
We’re regularly asked to cater all sorts of events around Hungerford, including:
- Farm and estate locations

Nearby historic houses include Breamore House (4.3 miles north). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations.

- How many staff will carve and serve
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
