A hog roast near Kimbridge
Film set catering for your shoot in Kimbridge
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when for shoots around Kimbridge. Popular choices include a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater crew thank-you days and countryside locations.
For a shoot in a place like Kimbridge, tracks and soft ground need checking. 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.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
