How our film set catering works in Meadle
Some locations near Meadle are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. We are frequently asked to cater lunch at base and location shoots, with new potatoes, a vegan option and halloumi skewers.
Near Meadle, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. 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.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Meadle
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Meadle?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from kit
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Access agreed with locations
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Spit-roast lamb
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- New potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, daylight in Meadle ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
