Film set catering in Row Town, carved to order
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Whether it’s location days and long days on set, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and hog roast rolls for your crew.
For a location shoot near Row Town, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
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.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. On a winter shoot near Row Town, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Let us know about tight access

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Row Town
What’s the nearest station to Row Town?
The closest is Addlestone station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Could you cook in Woburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What does the production need from you?
Tell us what the production needs, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We clear our spot after lunch.
A second meat widens the menu.

- A route for our vehicle
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Sign-off from the location
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
