A hog roast near Setley
Film set catering for your shoot in Setley
Some locations near Setley are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. We are frequently asked to cater location days and commercials and music videos, with spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and salads.
Near Setley, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Setley hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
