Film set catering in Rockbourne, carved to order
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, with allergen details for everything. We serve new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater crew appreciation lunches and music video days.
Near Rockbourne, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- A route for our vehicle
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Rockbourne: your questions answered
Is Rockbourne too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What does the production need from you?
Send us your requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.

Send the location and access notes and we’ll plan the journey.
What do you need from us on the day?

Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
Send us the date, the address or SP6 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
