A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Served at the time you choose

Film set catering for your shoot in Middle Claydon
Crews in Middle Claydon work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. For long shoot days and period drama shoots, we can cook hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
Near Middle Claydon, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each price is built from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- The number of people
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
