Marsh Baldon questions
How far is Marsh Baldon from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in Nuneham Courtenay?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal is not available.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How our film set catering works in Marsh Baldon
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. Whether it is rural locations and shoots on location, we can cook hog roast rolls, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
For a shoot in a place like Marsh Baldon, tracks and soft ground need checking. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen list with the crew
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- One contact for the day
- Approval from locations
- Vehicle access to base
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
