Slow-roasted pork in Lathbury
Film set catering in Lathbury, carved to order
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. We’re often asked to cater period drama shoots and end-of-shoot wraps, serving new potatoes, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Lathbury can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Lathbury
Is Lathbury close to London?
About 49 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Lathbury?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
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.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Typically, if there’s a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
