About our film set catering in Selborne
Some locations near Selborne are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. Popular choices include a vegan option, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we’re frequently booked for farm and estate locations and crew appreciation lunches.
Near Selborne, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
Send us the date, the address or GU34 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Looking after everyone
Some crew will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
