Film set catering in Longmoor, slow-roasted on site

Near Longmoor, check tracks and ground with locations. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Longmoor
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Longmoor from London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you come to Longmoor?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Longmoor and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Post allergen details at base
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We pack away straight after service.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- A covered eating area
- A contact in production

How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. On a winter shoot near Longmoor, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
