Slow-roasted pork in Milton Regis
Film set catering in Milton Regis, slow-roasted on site
We liaise with your locations and production team on access, base layout and timings. We’re frequently asked to cater crew thank-you days and period locations, serving halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option.
Near Milton Regis, check tracks and ground with locations. 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 full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- An itemised quote
- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

FAQs for Milton Regis
Do you come out to small places like Milton Regis?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Milton Creek Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We work to your schedule.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
