Film set catering in Sheepdrove, carved to order
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Add sides for a full meal. We serve salads, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for wrap parties and crew thank-you days.
Near Sheepdrove, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Sheepdrove questions
Is Sheepdrove too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do. Tell us the date and location.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you cover Sheepdrove?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you work to set times?
That is exactly how we work, holding the roast if lunch moves.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Sheepdrove
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
