About our film set catering in Littleworth Corner
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. On the menu are salads, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater period locations and location shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Littleworth Corner, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

When should we book?

Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
We serve quickly on the call.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
