Film set catering in Iffley, slow-roasted on site
Some locations near Iffley are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. For crew thank-you days and end-of-shoot wraps, we can cook salads, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Near Iffley, base may be a field or yard. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

Organising for someone else?

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Sides make a proper lunch.

Iffley: your questions answered
How far is Iffley from London?
About 51 miles from central London.
Could you cook in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What about locations off the beaten track?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Usually, if there’s a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
