Slow-roasted pork in Radley
Film set catering in Radley, carved to order
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. We’re often asked to cater end-of-shoot wraps and long shoot days, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option.
For a shoot in a place like Radley, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What affects the price in Radley
We do not use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Radley
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Radley hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Carved to order by a chef
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
