About our film set catering in Radfall
Some locations near Radfall are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. We serve a vegan option, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for end-of-shoot wraps and shoots on location.
Near Radfall, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

For planners, venues and organisers

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Halal isn’t offered
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.

FAQs for Radfall
Is Radfall too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast near the sea around Radfall?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you have documents for locations?
Every production is different; share your list and we will respond.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A covered eating area
- A contact in production
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
