How our film set catering works in Runcton
Schedules move, and a slow roast copes. Name a contact in production and we will adjust. Typical bookings include rural locations and unit base lunches, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and salads.
For a shoot in a place like Runcton, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- One contact for the day
- A route for our vehicle

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why Runcton hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Planned to your running order
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
See our prices page or the cost guide.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In December, daylight in Runcton ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Send final numbers in good time

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
