About our film set catering in Mill End
On a long shoot day near Mill End, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Whether it’s crew appreciation lunches and unit base lunches, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken for your crew.
Rural locations near Mill End can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Timed around your day
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- We bring everything to cook and serve

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Travel to Mill End
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, send us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A picture of the cooking area
- Where the event is
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September shoots near Mill End lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Mill End: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Fawley Court and Temple Island?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
