Film set catering for your shoot in Sarsden
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for end-of-shoot wraps and extended shoot days.
Rural locations near Sarsden can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Sides to make it a full meal
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- No surprises: everything in writing

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. On a winter shoot near Sarsden, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:30pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed

- Share the allergen list with the crew

If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
