Film set catering in Hythe End, slow-roasted on site
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. We serve rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater crew appreciation lunches and shoots on location.
Near Hythe End, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Hythe End questions
Which station is closest to Hythe End?
Wraysbury station, about 1 mile north of the centre.
Is Hythe End too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. By late September, sunset near Hythe End is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
