About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
About our film set catering in Itchen
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. For location days and countryside locations, we can cook spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
For a location shoot near Itchen, base might be in a field or farmyard. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Itchen
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do a hog roast in Houndwell Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you come to Itchen?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Itchen and Southampton. Send us the address for a quote.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party, with lamb or chicken if you like.
What does the production need from you?
Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
