About our film set catering in Larkfield
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. For shoots on location and long shoot days, we’ll put together a menu of salads, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken and more.
Near Larkfield, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, slowly, over several hours.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
The biggest factors are:
- Travel to Larkfield
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your date and serving time

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Planned to your running order
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
