Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Serving and clearing done for you

About our film set catering in Mowshurst
Rural and period locations near Mowshurst can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. We serve hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater music video days and rural locations.
Rural locations near Mowshurst can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Plan separately for halal if needed
When lunch is called, we carve fast.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact in production
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- A level area at base

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Summer shoots near Mowshurst have light until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
