Slow-roasted pork in Luccombe Village
How our film set catering works in Luccombe Village
Crews can be big, and carving feeds plenty of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. On the menu are new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we are often booked for milestone days on set and ad shoots.
Rural locations near Luccombe Village can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Luccombe Village
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers

FAQs for Luccombe Village
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the nearest station to Luccombe Village?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.

Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you work to set times?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for crew who do not eat pork.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
