About our film set catering in Sandleheath
From commercials to long-form drama, we work to your schedule. For crew thank-you days and wrap parties, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers for your crew.
Rural locations near Sandleheath can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Post allergen details at base
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- The date and time of year
- Site access
- Time on site
- Plates or china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
Every shoot is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: fill in our quote form.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Sandleheath ends around 4:05pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
