How our film set catering works in Mugswell
Crews in Mugswell work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-shoot wraps and long days on set.
In Mugswell, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. Locations will arrange our position, frequently with council permission. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

A hog roast or other catering?
For a wrap party, it’s a relaxed way to finish. 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, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- An itemised quote
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Label the alternatives clearly
Name a contact for the day.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan crew can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
