How our film set catering works in Newbridge
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Name a contact in production and we’ll adjust. We’re often asked to cater base catering and end-of-shoot wraps, with a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Near Newbridge, check tracks and ground with locations. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Sign-off from the location
- A safe distance from kit
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Working with your venue

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Newbridge for film and TV crews
Newbridge is about 3 miles west of Totton, in Hampshire. Planning a hog roast for the crew in Newbridge? We cover the whole area. We bring hog roasts to 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Newbridge to Southampton (about 8 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Landford Manor (3.8 miles north-west). Period locations like these usually keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early. Newbridge is within about 5 miles of the New Forest National Park, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about cooking and vehicles.

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Newbridge: your questions answered
Is Newbridge too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Newbridge ends around 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
How to get a price
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
