Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
A cooked roast can wait.
Ask about china.
How our film set catering works in Seaview
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Whether it’s crew thank-you days and ad shoots, we can cook new potatoes, hog roast rolls and salads for your crew.
For a shoot in a place like Seaview, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A route for our vehicle
- A level area at base
- A named contact at base
For somewhere as remote as Seaview, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

For cast and crew travelling by train, Smallbrook Junction station is about 2 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Nunwell House (3.3 miles south-west) and Morton Manor (3.6 miles south-west). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property. With the sea within about 3 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will eat.

What we serve, dish by dish

Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for crew who don’t eat pork.
