Film set catering in Ley Hill
How our film set catering works in Ley Hill
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. Popular choices include new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads, and typical bookings are for countryside locations and extended shoot days.
Rural locations near Ley Hill can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat.

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.

- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Ley Hill hosts choose us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
Take a look at our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
