Film set catering in Ladwell, slow-roasted on site
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. For shoots on location and period locations, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and salads and more.
Near Ladwell, check tracks and ground with locations. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Ladwell questions
Which station is closest to Ladwell?
The closest is Chandlers Ford station, roughly 2 miles away.
How far is Ladwell from London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Ladwell ends around 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
