A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Our staff serve and clear
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

How our film set catering works in Kencot
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name a contact in production and we will fit around changes. We serve hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater farm and estate locations and long days on set.
Near Kencot, check tracks and ground with locations. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
