How our film set catering works in Lodsworth
Crews in Lodsworth work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. For wrap days and commercials and music videos, we can cook halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option and more.
For a shoot in a place like Lodsworth, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- Dietary requirements
- A photo of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Summer shoots near Lodsworth have light until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
