About our film set catering in Marlow Bottom
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for farm and estate locations and milestone days on set.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Fresh carving at the serving station
