Film set catering for Middleton
How our film set catering works in Middleton
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Name a contact in production and we will fit around changes. We’re frequently asked to cater period locations and location days, serving salads, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
Near Middleton, check tracks and ground with locations. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to deliveries, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- An itemised quote
- All the equipment comes with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Questions from Middleton
Is Middleton close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Middleton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What does the production need from you?
Tell us what the production needs, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you need much space at base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit, agreed with locations.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Middleton ends around 4:00pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
