Film set catering in Pyrford, carved to order
On a long shoot day near Pyrford, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. On the menu are new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for rural locations and long shoot days.
Shoots around Pyrford often use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- What the price includes, item by item
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In December, daylight in Pyrford ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal is not offered
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We work to the location’s rules.
China crockery is available on request.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or GU22 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
