Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Shedfield
What’s the nearest station to Shedfield?
Botley station, about 2.6 miles west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Shedfield?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
What does the production need from you?
Send us your requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you come to Shedfield?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Shedfield and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
At base, on level ground. We will agree it with your location manager.
Film set catering for your shoot in Shedfield
Crews in Shedfield work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater period drama shoots and long shoot days.
Rural locations near Shedfield can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours.

Organising for someone else?

If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Summer shoots near Shedfield have light until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
