Film set catering in Millbank, slow-roasted on site
We liaise with your locations and production team on access, base layout and timings. Whether it’s long shoot days and countryside locations, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls for your crew.
Rural locations near Millbank can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, daylight in Millbank ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
