Shooting in Pitchcott: unit bases and access
Pitchcott is about 4 miles north of Haydon Hill, in Buckinghamshire. Our roaster is a regular sight at shoots around Pitchcott. We bring hog roasts to all 263 towns and villages across Buckinghamshire. We cater events right across the region, from Pitchcott to Milton Keynes (about 12 miles away).
Within reach of Pitchcott are historic houses such as Waddesdon Manor (3.7 miles south-west) and Claydon House (4.7 miles north-west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations. Crew coming by rail can use the station: the closest railway station is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 3.3 miles south of the centre.
For shoots in HP22, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many crew. For shoots just outside Pitchcott, we cover Oving (1 mile north-east), North Marston (1 mile north), Whitchurch (2 miles east), Hardwick (2 miles south-east) and Weedon (3 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Aylesbury (5 miles south-east), Buckingham (10 miles north-west), Elmhurst (5 miles south-east), Southcourt (6 miles south-east), Princes Risborough (11 miles south) and Haydon Hill (4 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital (4.6 miles south-east) and Bolbec Castle (1.4 miles east).
- Local pubs include The Black Boy pub (0.6 miles north-east)
Film set catering in Pitchcott, slow-roasted on site
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. Typical bookings include period locations and commercials and music videos, with halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
Rural locations near Pitchcott can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
