How our film set catering works in Lee-on-the-Solent
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 ad shoots, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, a vegan option and salads for your crew.
For a location shoot near Lee-on-the-Solent, base might be in a field or farmyard. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
