For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Film set catering in Nuffield, slow-roasted on site
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when. We are often asked to cater crew appreciation lunches and farm and estate locations, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Rural locations near Nuffield can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Shooting in Nuffield: unit bases and access
Nuffield is about 8 miles north-west of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. We cater shoots of every size in Nuffield. Nuffield is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Nuffield to Reading (about 9 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Greys Court (4.2 miles south-east) and Stonor Park (4.7 miles east). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Nuffield, so check cooking and vehicle rules with locations.
Wherever your shoot is in RG9, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Churchfield, Timbers Lane and Nuffield Hill or anywhere nearby, we can set up and roast there. If your venue is just outside Nuffield, we also cover Heath End (1 mile south), Stoke Row (2 miles south), Checkendon (2 miles south), Ipsden (2 miles south-west) and Hook End (4 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Oxford (15 miles north-west), Didcot (9 miles west), Abingdon-on-Thames (13 miles north-west), Thame (12 miles north), Henley-on-Thames (6 miles south-east) and Benson (4 miles north-west).
Nearby you’ll also find Wallingford Castle (4 miles north-west). Within reach you’ll find Warburg Nature Reserve.
- Local pubs include The Crown Public House (0.5 miles north-east)
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In December, daylight in Nuffield ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
