How our film set catering works in Padbury
We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when. We’re often asked to cater countryside locations and location shoots, with spit-roast lamb, salads and hog roast rolls.
Rural locations near Padbury can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Post allergen details at base
We clear our spot after lunch.
For an evening wrap.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Padbury ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Shooting in Padbury: unit bases and access
Padbury is about 2 miles south-east of Buckingham, in Buckinghamshire. Planning a hog roast for the crew in Padbury? We cover the whole area. Padbury is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire we cover. You can also see our page for Milton Keynes, about 9 miles away.
Within reach of Padbury are historic houses such as Claydon House (3.3 miles south). Period locations like these usually keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early.
For shoots in MK18, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. That could mean a shoot in a garden on Main Street, Lower Way and Old Springfields or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. Nearby, we also cater shoots in Adstock (1 mile east), Buckingham (2 miles north-west), Thornborough (2 miles north-east), Steeple Claydon (3 miles south-west) and Middle Claydon (3 miles south).

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
