Film set catering for your shoot in New Milton
Whatever the production, we work to your schedule. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for farm and estate locations and end-of-shoot wraps.
For a location shoot near New Milton, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.

Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your crew, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Summer shoots near New Milton have light until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count crew needing an alternative
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.

Take a look at how we price and our hog roast cost guide.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
The price comes down to:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
