Film set catering for your shoot in Ibsley
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. Whether it’s end-of-shoot wraps and extended shoot days, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Rural locations near Ibsley can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- Any dietary needs or allergies

The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Ibsley ends around 4:05pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
