Film set catering in Peel Common, slow-roasted on site
From commercials to long-form drama, we fit around the call sheet. We are frequently asked to cater historic house shoots and farm and estate locations, with a vegan option, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Rural locations near Peel Common can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Post allergen details at base
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Peel Common questions
Can you roast near the sea around Peel Common?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How far is Peel Common from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
At base, on level ground. Locations will confirm the spot.
Do you have documents for locations?
Tell us what the production needs, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
