Film set catering for your shoot in Ivybridge
Crews in Ivybridge work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Typical bookings include countryside locations and long days on set, with a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
London locations around Ivybridge can have tight access, so tell us the route and any restrictions. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In December, daylight in Ivybridge ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Ivybridge
What if our house in Ivybridge has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Inwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A route for our vehicle
- A contact in production
- Sign-off from the location
As a London location, Ivybridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Planning for dietary needs

- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Halal is not offered
- Share the allergen list with the crew
We serve quickly on the call.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with ordering in, we are already there when lunch is called. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Ivybridge
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
