Film set catering in Marlow, slow-roasted on site
Crews in Marlow work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for extended shoot days and location days.
For a shoot in Marlow, tell us where base is and how to reach it, and we’ll plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

What else we do in Marlow
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At the end of a shoot, it is a relaxed way to finish. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
Take a look at our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Because the roast starts early, and in December Marlow is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
How to get a price

- How easy it is to reach the spot
