About our film set catering in Red Post Bridge
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes. For base catering and historic house shoots, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes and more.
Near Red Post Bridge, check tracks and ground with locations. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
For event organisers in Red Post Bridge
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In December, daylight in Red Post Bridge ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
