How our film set catering works in Nonington
Rural and period locations near Nonington can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. For period drama shoots and crew thank-you days, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, salads and hog roast rolls and more.
Near Nonington, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In December, daylight in Nonington ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- Dietary requirements
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
