Film set catering in Northington, slow-roasted on site
Some locations near Northington are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. Whether it’s end-of-shoot wraps and crew appreciation lunches, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb for your crew.
Near Northington, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Northington hosts choose us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Timed around your day
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

What affects the price in Northington
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

- The date and when you’d like to eat

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Northington ends around 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
