About our film set catering in Oxshott
On a long shoot day near Oxshott, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Popular choices include salads, a vegan option and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for long shoot days and music video days.
Near Oxshott, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Summer shoots near Oxshott have light until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

Oxshott questions
Which station is closest to Oxshott?
Oxshott station, in Oxshott itself.
How far is Oxshott from London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Share the route to base and we’ll confirm.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A level spot at base for the roaster

Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
