Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Longcross
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Dietary requirements
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Film set catering in Longcross, carved to order
Whatever the production, we work to your schedule. Typical bookings include location shoots and rural locations, with hog roast rolls, salads and rotisserie chicken.
For a shoot in a place like Longcross, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

FAQs for Longcross
Could you cook in Gracious Pond?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Longcross?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you get to rural locations?
Send the location and access notes and we’ll plan the journey.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you need much space at base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September shoots near Longcross lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Ask for a quote
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
