Slow-roasted pork in North Newington
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book our hog roast in North Newington
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Film set catering for your shoot in North Newington
Crews in North Newington work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Typical bookings include location days and commercials and music videos, serving spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
For a shoot in a place like North Newington, tracks and soft ground need checking. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
