About our film set catering in Ibstone
Some locations near Ibstone are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. On the menu are a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for extended shoot days and location shoots.
Near Ibstone, check tracks and ground with locations. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Working with your venue

If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
