A hog roast near Nashes Green
Film set catering in Nashes Green, slow-roasted on site
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings. Whether it’s crew appreciation lunches and location shoots, we will put together a menu of a vegan option, salads and new potatoes for your crew.
Rural locations near Nashes Green can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Planned to your running order
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
A cooked roast can wait; just let us know.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Site access

What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your menu choices
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is

How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, daylight in Nashes Green ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
