Film set catering in Lyford, carved to order
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous. Typical bookings include lunch at base and countryside locations, serving a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
Rural locations near Lyford can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel to Lyford

- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Lyford
Is Lyford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Lyford close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you cover Lyford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Lyford and Oxfordshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, daylight in Lyford lasts until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
