About our film set catering in Portsmouth
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Whether it’s extended shoot days and base catering, we can cook halloumi skewers, a vegan option and salads.
Shoots in Portsmouth use all kinds of locations. The roaster needs level ground at the unit base. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

Planners, venues and businesses

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Common questions in Portsmouth
Is Portsmouth close to London?
About 64 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Alexandra Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Generally, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A route for our vehicle
- Approval from locations
- One contact for the day
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
