We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not offer halal meat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?

Film set catering for your shoot in Loughton
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. Typical bookings include wrap days and location shoots, serving spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and salads.
For a location shoot near Loughton, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Loughton is about 47 miles from central London. Nearby historic houses include Linford Manor (2.9 miles north) and Bletchley Park (2.9 miles south-east). If you are shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property.

A hog roast compared with other options

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Because the roast starts early, and in December Loughton is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
