How our film set catering works in Sandleford
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. We’re often asked to cater music video days and base catering, with salads, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
Rural locations near Sandleford can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
