About our film set catering in Shenington
On a long shoot day near Shenington, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. Typical bookings include wrap days and long shoot days, serving hog roast rolls, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Near Shenington, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Shenington questions
Do you come out to small places like Shenington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
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 need much space at base?
At base, on level ground. We will agree it with your location manager.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, daylight in Shenington lasts until about 9:30pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
