How our film set catering works in Quainton
Rural and period locations near Quainton can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Whether it’s location shoots and music video days, we can cook halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls for your crew.
For a shoot in a place like Quainton, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
