How our film set catering works in Longworth
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, in a position locations are happy with. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for crew thank-you days and countryside locations.
For a shoot in a place like Longworth, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Post allergen details at base
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Rough numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies

What comes off the roaster
