About our film set catering in Passfield
We liaise with your locations and production team on access, base layout and timings for shoots around Passfield. We are frequently asked to cater wrap days and location shoots, with salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
Near Passfield, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Passfield questions
Which station is closest to Passfield?
Liphook station, about 2.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you set up at the unit base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.

Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering, for a wrap or a milestone. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, sunset near Passfield is about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
